I asked the same question earlier on this forum. I was told that tap water is safe - however most drink bottled because they don't like the taste of tap (but it is supposed to be okay to drink.

personally i never take a chance, it's not that the tap water is dodgy it just has a different mineral content to what we may be used to. given that it is so cheap to buy bottled water i don't risk it

Yes its totally safe to drink. I have been drinking it since 1989 and never once ill.

I've been drinking tap water in Barcelona since I as born and still alive :D

thanks to everyone who replied, i just thought that the tap water in all of spain was not to be touched, but i have only been to majorca and you aren't supposed to drink it there.

Tap water in Barcelona doesn't taste that great so we buy 5 litre carafes of mineral water to drink with meals, but no problem brushing your teeth etc.
