Is it better to use travelers checks or a credit card when visiting Spain?

I think the best thing to use while in Europe (Spain etc) is a visa card. This is the one card that is widely used all over Europe, and most all shops accept visa, over other cards. If you are going to take travelers checks, you will most likely have to change them in the bank, or at the hotel exchange office, as most shops prefer cards.

Debit and credit are accepted. You could take some euro's, as in the market places, they ask for cash, if you want a bargain!( then you can barter) But, you can get cash off your card, in the local currency(euro's) from the bank machine, so don't feel you have to take a lot of cash. Visa is the way to go!

Happy holiday.

The easy way to avoid all the fees and charges associated with credit and debit cards is to carry cash euros. If you want to use travelers checks, have them denominated in euros to avoid bad exchange rates and get American Express checks which you can cash commission free at their offices. Changing money can be very expensive, unless you have cash.

If you're worried about security, carry a money belt.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
