Do taxis take credit cards now?

Time of past OR future Camino
2006 to date: Over 21 Caminos. See signature line
I recently told someone they would need cash for taxis and small villages and was informed by several other people that they had used a credit card exclusively on the Camino Frances, even with taxis and albergues.
I was surprised!
I mean that's good news but a big change to me.
I didn't walk this past Spring because I took a road trip across the USA instead.
But have things changed that much in a year?
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Taxis (in the main towns) have taken cards. Even on one of the remotest parts of the Sanabres, the bar had a card terminal.

I have cash too so I can show some appreciation for that extra help or smile.
 
Having taken a few taxis this past spring, most of them took only cash. In Santiago, they took my card.
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
I may be too cautious for credit card number and pin be stolen, I do not use credit cards when it is not absolutely necessary.
 
Over the past few years I've taken taxis in many places in Spain, both on the Camino and off. Whether in Madrid or a small town, only once did they not have a setup for cards, but the driver drove me to the only bank in town. It had an ATM and I got some money. Generally I carry very little cash wherever I am.
