I use the 50 EUR note in Spain quite often (every week) without any problem whatsoever. Obviously if you are gonna pay a 1.30 EUR coffee with a 50 EUR note you might be asked if you have a lower one...

That problems happen if you try to use the 100EUR one and obove.

Guess it's very location dependent. In the middle of Barcelona/Madrid, people won't have any issues with your 50 euro bills but in villages scattered around (mainly my experience is Catalunya), it's hard to find a place willing to give you change on a 50 euro bill if you're only paying for something that is around 10 euros or less.
