Destination-specific money tips
- •While many places accept cards, always have some cash for smaller bars, local markets (like Mercado Central), and street performers.
- •Look for ATMs affiliated with major Spanish banks (Santander, BBVA, CaixaBank) to minimize foreign transaction fees from your bank.
- •Tapas can be a very affordable way to eat, especially if you order a drink and get a small tapa included. However, ordering a full 'ración' can add up quickly.
- •The City of Arts and Sciences has various ticket options; consider combo tickets if you plan to visit multiple buildings to save money.
- •Valencia is very walkable and has an excellent public transport system; relying on it will save significantly on transport costs compared to taxis.
