Spain is amongst the most corrupt countries in the EU (no surprise).
What kind of corruption do you see around you? Is there a corruption that benefits you? What's the worst corruption you've seen?

I can't say I have - personally - encountered any, and less so any corruption likely to benefit me.
After many many years here in Spain, I can say I have never handed over an extra penny (coima) to get something done, nor have I ever been asked for a "kick-back". Sure, I have on occasion bought a good box of chocolates or gift for a person in an office (public or private) who was more than helpful.
Has there been corruption in the construction, planning and development sectors? There certainly has. It's an area rather prone to corruption, not just in Spain. Ireland is an example, during those boom years.
