How to Access Money on the Camino
Running out of money on the Camino is something no traveller wants to experience. It can be stressful on any holiday. In very remote places, accessing money can be difficult. Thankfully, this is not the case on the Camino de Santiago.

Payment Methods on the Camino
Spain, like much of Europe, widely uses contactless payment. If your bank card supports contactless, you can use it in most places. However, it is wise to carry some cash. Small shops, cafés, and tips in restaurants often require it.

Withdrawing Money While Travelling
The easiest and cheapest way to get money on the Camino is by using your bank ATM card or credit card. There is no need to worry about finding ATMs. You will find one at almost every stage of the Camino. Larger towns and cities offer even more options for cash withdrawal.
