You have to be careful as most charge €2-3 now.
The Deutscher bank used to be free, the best way is to use a Monzo or TransferWise card to beat the exchange rate swindle.
Exchange rates vary from bank to bank.

I have a Deutschebank debit card which is free to use at any DB terminal and has "favourable" terms at others, whatever that means, I haven't tried it anywhere else yet, probably means 1.5 euros charge instead of 2.5. I load the DB account with euros via Transferwise when the rates are on the up, hard to do that just now.

I think the Caixa bank at the back of the GA centre is also free for withdrawals.

Post by: Ash on July 07, 2019, 12:19.: Santander is €300 max
But make sure to take € and not £ otherwise it will cost you at least £20 more
