to know!
The EURO (€) is the official currency in Portugal and in Spain. Usually you would pay in cash, but of course all hotels, major stores and restaurants accept credit cards. When you shop locally, please make sure to ask or check the sticker at the entrance door to see if and which credit cards are accepted.
A service charge is usually included in your final bill, but if you are happy with the service you received, then it is common to leave a 5% to 10% tip.

To explore both countries, especially the rural areas and small little villages at the coast or in the midlands, it is recommended to rent your own car. That way you will be most flexible and have access to many beautiful local delights. If you like to travel in comfort, then you will be happy about the many airports that Spain has to offer. Portugal’s airports are also conveniently located throughout the country.
Portugal and Spain are both certainly most popular during Summer. The stunning beaches and azure blue ocean waters are the prime attraction contributors. But the midlands and the various cultural as well as rural delights are certainly very attractive as well. You can enjoy both countries throughout the year as the winters tend to be fairly mild compared to other European countries.
