Destination-specific money tips
- •While credit cards are widely accepted in tourist hubs like Palma and resorts, smaller villages or local markets might be cash-only.
- •Be mindful of ATM withdrawal fees; using ATMs attached to major Spanish banks (like CaixaBank or BBVA) is generally safer than independent machines.
- •Tipping is not mandatory in Spain, but rounding up the bill or leaving a small amount (5-10%) for exceptional service at restaurants is a common courtesy.
- •Renting a car can be very cost-effective for exploring the island's diverse landscapes, especially if booked in advance.
- •Beware of inflated prices for tourist-trap restaurants right on the main promenades; venture a few streets inland for better value and more authentic food.
