Hi ,  

We are visiting Spain soon from the uk, we are wondering what the situation is in shops/bars/restaurants ect withe regards to payments , do they all accept cash as well as card??  

Currently in the uk many places only accept card which for some people has been an issue 

Many thanks 

Dee

When we were over Spain in June cash or card was excepted everywhere, restaurants, shops, etc. We were in and around Los Dolses.

I have not had any problems with cash here in the UK either but we mainly use cards so perhaps have not noticed if they do not take cash.

Aitch.

Here in Benidorm cash is king. Some small bars don't have card readers. The muggers will also accept cash so be very careful how much is on show.
