Tap water situation

Tap water in Spain is generally safe to drink across most of the country. However, the quality and taste can vary significantly depending on the region, especially between urban and rural areas. In major cities like Madrid and Barcelona, tap water is considered very safe and of high quality. In some coastal and rural areas, some residents might prefer bottled water due to taste preferences, although safety is not a concern. The government body responsible for overseeing water quality in Spain is the Ministry for the Ecological Transition, and it ensures that the water supply meets all the safety and quality standards set by the European Union.
