Card payment: Is it possible everywhere in Spain?

Dear guest, if you come from a country in Northern Europe you will be used to pay by card in almost any establishment. This type of payment is being introduced in Spain gradually. In the big cities of Spain you can pay by card in almost any establishment. On the other hand, the situation changes in the smallest towns (population less than 10,000) of Spain.

In these small towns, except for tourist ones, card payments have not spread to the level of big cities. Of course, it is rare that, for example, the payment by card in a restaurant is not possible. But dear guest, if you want to buy something in a small establishment in a small town, payment by card will not be possible. I advise you then if you travel to a small town (even being a tourist) and go in a small establishment to carry cash with you.

On the contrary, in towns such as Motril, Almuñécar or Salobreña or cities as Granada, you should not have any problem making payment by card in any establishment. Anyway, do not hesitate to contact Grandes Villas if you have any questions or suggestions and we will be happy to assist you.
