Did you know?
- The word precio is a doublet of the word prez, meaning 'esteem' or 'value'. While precio became the standard term for a monetary cost, prez survived as a literary term for honor.
- In traditional Spanish markets, the precio total is often a starting point for a 'regateo' or bargaining process, where the final price is negotiated verbally.
- In Spain, if a precio total is listed as 'IVA incluido', it means the Value Added Tax is already part of the price, unlike in the US where tax is added at the register.
