What Currency And Payment Methods Are Standard?

Spain uses the euro. Credit cards are widely accepted at upscale venues, and contactless payments are normal.

Five-star hotels, fine dining, and luxury boutiques handle major cards seamlessly. Carry some cash for tipping valets or rural artisans. ATMs are common in cities and resort towns; withdraw inside bank branches for added security.
