On the barcelona Metro there are signs saying things such as the
penalty for not having a cvaild ticket is 30 Euros and 5 cents. No

I noticed that too, on a recent visit. Very odd.


Exact conversion of 5000 pesetas.
The rest of us just used 1000 pesetas = 6 Euros, but officialdom loves
to be precise.
