About cards and cash
And what kind of horror stories were they recently told on TV: do not withdraw money from ATMs, do not pay with a card in a cafe? Who knows what?

You can also pay with a card, you just have to be careful (and this applies not only to Spain). For example, if at a point of sale, when paying with a card, they ask you to enter a pin code, then it is better not to do this and pay in cash. If you pay with a card in a rerun (or in some other place where it is customary to take the card away for a while), the operation must be carried out in your presence (otherwise, it is enough to rewrite the card number and 3 digits from the reverse 100rona, and you can make transactions on the Internet). Well, when withdrawing cash through an ATM, make sure that there is no skimmer when there is a hole for the card, and there is not another, invoice, keyboard on the keyboard. Well, it is advisable to use ATMs at banks, and not somewhere in the outskirts.

Thank you! These are all known truths, but for some reason the emphasis was on Spain. And thanks for the PIN. I will transfer money to visa cards, there without a code. Thanks again!

And why is it better not to enter a pin code? In Spain, all the cards are like this and I always enter a pin, just when entering, you need to cover the numbers with your hand so that strangers do not see. And on the Internet on normal sites you can’t buy anything with a card, knowing only its number and secret code - at least you need to know the address to which it is tied. And in cafe-restaurants you have to bring the device or you yourself pay at the checkout. You don't have to let the cards go, just...

And I always paid with a visa without a pin code: both at home and abroad. What does it mean?

Sometimes (including in Russia) they ask you to enter a pin code even in the case of a Visa. Moreover, the banks themselves, which issued the cards, say that this is normal, this sometimes happens. But abroad, they say, it’s better not to enter a pin code, especially in countries such as Turk, Hedgehog or Tuna (I haven’t heard about Spain).

Just in Spain, if a card without a PIN code will be required to present a passport (original), but it is better not to carry a passport with you (so as not to lose it), it is better to have a photocopy.

Is it the passport? Driver's license failing? However, I don’t know how it is in Spain, but in Italy they also almost always require a document. But the rights there are rolling with a bang.

Rights do not go everywhere. In the Media Market, for example, even the Spanish rights do not pass ... and a card with a pin code with a bang.
