  • There are many street musicians in the city. If you can liked to tip them like 50 cents or a 1 euro is fine.
    Also, you have to leave some tip in the restaurant about 10 percent of the meal.

    Local Customs: Spanish peseta changed to Euro

  • The Euro is the new 'single currency' of the European Monetary Union, adopted on January 1, 1999 by 11 Member States. Spanish Peseta changed to Euro. Peseta is not valid anymore. Spanish people is still speaking on peseta about values of things . So do not confuse yourself. For your info, I Euro = 166.386 peseta.

    ***No problem for Visa/Plus (ATM Locator) or MasterCard/Cirrus. There are plenty of them particularly in touristic areas.
