Good question.
I'm actually using the hotel to convert my (pre-travel) twenty-dollar “dollars” to Euro’s.
Only local businesses NOT accepting the Visa and Mastercard and AMEX are the telephone “regargo” (recharging) shops. Funny thing, the nuclear plant also uses “recargo” for their “refueling” paperwork. My access magnetic badge and car pass, for example, are labelled “Recargo” ... 8<)
Here, my AMEX and MasterCard are getting rejected at the ATM’s when I try to withdraw “cash”. Mean anything? Don't know.
I don’t know, it was Italy’s 4th largest bank that has frozen all of its depositors assets and is not conducting ANY transactions. I wondered what Spain was like now that they got their bailout.
