Barcelona ATM's

[megfla]

I don't want to travel with or carry too much cash. I found various information that says that ATM's in Spain will only dispense either 150 or 300 euro per day? If this is the case, I assume I can go to a differnent bank's ATM and withdraw more if necessary (up to my bank's daily limit)?

 

Any personal experience would be greatly appreciated!

You might have better luck posting this in the Ports of Call > Europe > Spain Ports Forum.

We spent several days in Barcelona last month. We had no problem withdrawing 250 Euro per transaction. We also had called one of our banks and had the maximum transaction amount dropped for the time we would be in Spain, although we never did withdraw more than 250 Euro per day.

You also might want to check with your bank and see if they have a partner bank there. It could save you some fees. I know Bank of America does, though I don't remember the name.

Be sure your bank has you setup for international transactions, they often don't to help prevent fraud.

If you have an account at Charles Schwab, their debit card works at any ATM throughout the world with no ATM fees and no foreign exchange fees. It's the cheapest way to get cash in Europe.

I have a Capital One account, no fees or ATM charges. Thanks.

Check to find out what your particular bank's daily withdrawal limit. Our bank has a $1000.00 maximum daily withdrawal limit. With the Euro rate of 1.33, I can withdraw approx 750 Euros per day. If a particular ATM only dispenses the maximum of 300 Euro per transaction, just put in your card and do another transaction. Works for me.

Thank you.

It is based on what your bank will allow you o withdraw. Also try to get away from ATMs at attractions as they can have hefty additional fees.

You can get them in different increments.
