The Best Budget & Spending Tips for the Canary Islands

Currency used in the Canary Islands
Euro

Barcelona uses the Euro, which is currently exchanged at $1.20 USD for 1 Euro. So it’s not that much more expensive, but keep in mind that you’re always spending 10% more. This might not seem like a huge difference but a 40 euro meal turns into a $48 meal. The Canary Islands is below in terms of spending costs. Look below for some of my best budget tips for Barcelona.
