[QUOTE="David, post: 1180914, member: 426"] The amount you carry is up to you but agree 200€+ - small businesses often prefer cash, for obvious reasons .. in France it is illegal not to offer a cash option on any purchases. But - split your cash into two ... an available 'visible' daily amount and your main cash hidden away, again, for obvious reasons and, don't rely on the cash machine you have heard about for the next day as it might not be working when you get there, so always carry enough cash to get you through the next week at least. If you do use a card in a cafe or similar don't let it out of your sight - as in, don't let them take it away to their counter machine, go with it - I had my card cloned this way a few years ago on Camino. You probably already know this but choose which cards you use for taking out cash in Spain carefully as some hit you with big charges, so research that. Also, using a card? Always choose the pay in Euros option and not the 'your currency' option as their rate is always bad and the actual bank transfer from Euros will always be a better rate. On average I carry about 250€ and use my UK JaJa card as there are no transaction fees (I only use it abroad and also keep the credit limit on that down to a low £750 in case it is stolen). Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
