CURRENCY EXCHANGE TIPS FOR SPAIN

ATMs

ATMs are widely available across Spain, especially in major cities, airports, and tourist areas. Most international debit and credit cards are accepted, though some ATMs may charge a small fee for withdrawals. To get the best exchange rates, use ATMs that are connected to major banks like Santander, BBVA, or CaixaBank. Be sure to notify your bank of your travel plans to avoid any issues with accessing funds.

CURRENCY EXCHANGE

Currency exchange services are available at airports, train stations, and exchange offices throughout Spain. While convenient, airport exchange counters often offer less favorable rates, so it’s best to exchange only a small amount upon arrival. For better rates, consider visiting local exchange offices in the city or using a service like Currency Hub in Knox, Melbourne, before traveling. Always compare rates from multiple providers.

USING CARDS

Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in Spain, particularly in urban areas and tourist destinations. Visa and MasterCard are the most commonly accepted, but American Express may be less widely recognized. When paying with cards, check for foreign transaction fees that may apply. For smaller purchases or in rural areas, it’s advisable to carry cash, as some local businesses or markets may not accept cards.
