Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries it is considered courteous to ask about extra fees up front. Doing so shows you are attentive and helps avoid misunderstandings, especially in tourism‑related services where hidden charges are common. The phrase is neutral and can be used both in formal (e.g., hotel front desk) and informal (e.g., a local market) contexts.
