CURRENCY
Credit cards, debit cards and cash are all accepted. However, you will need cash for most purchases under €10 so it is a good idea to visit an ATM and withdraw local currency to have on hand.
TIPPING
When having a meal at a sit-down restaurant, a 10-15% cash tip is expected if you received excellent service. Some places will have a service charge already included in the bill, so you do not need to tip on top of that. You should always tip your hotel staff and porters a few euro whenever you use their services. You should also tip your tour guides (10-15 euros for a half day, 15-25 euros for a full day).
ACCESSIBILITY
In Spain, almost all infrastructure and most tourism-related services meet accessibility requirements.
