Title: Free cash withdrawal ATM machine
Post by: peterjhaines on June 25, 2023, 18:11.

Does anyone know if there are any cash points that do not charge a fee for withdrawals at the Centro. I don't have a Spanish bank seems that most charge a fee nowadays.

If you have a Santander debit card it’s free to withdraw money
From the Santander atm down at the ga centre and the one in Santa Pola

If you only have UK cards you'll find all Spanish banks charge for withdrawals. Sabadell is cheapest at €1.80 per transaction. Making one maximum amount withdrawal is obviously cheaper than multiple small amounts.
I think they still have an atm next to grannet, if not the branch is up the hill.

Before I had my Santander account I had a credit card which didn't charge for cash withdrawals (only hammered you with a high interest rate the minute you did). I used to preload it so it was in credit and then withdraw cash on it as they can't charge interest if you don't owe them any money.
Also Santander offer you a guaranteed exchange rate. Never take it as it can be £20 different on 300 euros so always press 'no' when offered the  conversion.
