What currency is used in Spain?

Spain, like most countries in the European Union, uses the Euro as its official currency. The Euro is the second most traded currency in the world and was introduced in Spain in 2002. It replaced the Spanish peseta, which had been in use for over a century.

The Euro is used throughout Spain and is accepted at most places including hotels, restaurants, and shops. It is also widely available at banks, ATMs and currency exchange offices. The exchange rate of the Euro varies with other currencies and can be checked online or at exchange offices.
