Spanish greetings in Spain vary by region. “¿Qué tal?” is universally used. “¿Cómo estás?” is common for asking how someone is. In Catalonia, you might hear “Bon dia” (Good day in Catalan). “Hola, tío/tía” is an informal way to greet friends, with “tío/tía” meaning “uncle/aunt” but used for friends. When parting, “Hasta luego” or “Venga, adiós” are frequently used.
