I recently told someone they would need cash for taxis and small villages and was informed by several other people that they had used a credit card exclusively on the Camino Frances, even with taxis and albergues.
I was surprised!
I mean that's good news but a big change to me.
I didn't walk this past Spring because I took a road trip across the USA instead.
But have things changed that much in a year?

Over the past few years I've taken taxis in many places in Spain, both on the Camino and off. Whether in Madrid or a small town, only once did they not have a setup for cards, but the driver drove me to the only bank in town. It had an ATM and I got some money. Generally I carry very little cash wherever I am.
