How easy is it to use €100 notes in Tenerife?

[russ]

Hi folks,

My wife and I will be on holiday in Tenerife last 2 weeks of September. We bought our euros through and online currency exchange company. We had a good exchange rate, but unfortunately, they sent me 6 x €100 notes.

How easy (or difficult) are they to spend in the shops? We usually do our grocery shopping at mercadona; are they happy to take the notes? Would I need ID to spend them here?

Thanks in advance,

Russ

I have had no problems with 100 euro notes. I have used them in the shops, garages e.t.c.. You should be fine with this amount.

You won't have any problem using them in Mercadona or other big supermarkets. You could also change them in the banks for 50's o 20's.
You don't need ID to pay by cash, even if they were 200 or 500 notes.

Thanks folks for your prompt replies! I couldn't remember if there were problems using such large notes.

Roll on 14th September for our annual 2 weeks in beautiful Tenerife!
