In some European countries water is free. I am from Sweden where all places have free tap water and fancy places often have free sparkling water.

Along the mediterranian seemed like the only place to get free water were the ancient fountains that spittle out a stream. But then you’d have to wait for the inevitable old man to finish washing his head and arm pits in that fountain. Beer was usually substantially cheaper than the water offerings.

In Spain by law all eating establishments have to provide tap water for free if asked.
