      Indeed. As usual when you are talking about banks it varies from one to the other. BBVA advertise a minimum fee of 10 cents, whereas Caixa Rural Trust for example advertise no minimum fee. It does of course also vary on the size of your...

      My wife and I are traveling back to the US today from Spain (no camino this trip). I was surprised with the widespread use of tap payment literally everywhere for all amounts. On the occasions where I presented cash, that seemed to surprise the...

      @TravellingMan22 , I agree. Yes Spain, as with many other countries, used to be a cash society - and in some smaller villages it's still very much is. However as we have discussed here numerous times on the forum COVID changed all of that. Or...

      Tapping or swiping your card costs nothing, it's only the ATM withdrawals.

      As the Ingles is a relatively short Camino of 5 days, I agree with others above that 1) your €200 should be enough, and 2) if you were to run short, you wouldn’t have to do more than one ATM withdrawal. Enjoy your Camino. It’s a wonderful route.

      I find it's a balancing act, and I still tend to withdraw a little more than I need to avoid having to visit an ATM too often. I have to remind myself that these fees are relatively quite small in the overall costs of travelling.

      @Varekai , yes I think 200 Euros will be more than sufficient. I walked the Inglés in April last year. I used my card whenever possible, and believe I spent 130 euros in cash. I know I started with 200 and came back with quite a bit (I don't...
