When planning a trip to a new destination, it’s essential to understand the local financial practices to ensure a smooth experience. Could you please tell me what the local currency is in this area? Additionally, I’d like to know if credit cards are widely accepted in shops, restaurants, and other places, or if it’s more common to use cash. Are there any specific establishments where I might encounter difficulties using a card? Thank you!
Answer
The local currency in Tenerife is the Euro. Credit cards are widely accepted in most places, including hotels, restaurants, and shops. You’ll find that Visa and MasterCard are the most common. Some smaller cafes or markets may only take cash, so it’s good to keep some Euros on hand for those occasions. ATMs are readily available if you need to withdraw cash. Overall, using a credit card should be easy, but having a little cash can make your experience smoother.
