    Camino Francés guide for cyclists

    The Buen Camino app shows alternative routes for cycling. I'm riding the Primitivo atm and it seems to do the job ok.

    Cammino Retico

    As they used to say when I lived in Nigeria....."I jealous you too much!" Rome I would happily live in henceforth and forever. I lived there 1991-1995. I kind of live outside London atm but actually am at ancestral home in Liverpool with domestic duties for past 3+ years.

    ATM colour chart

    Ah thank for sharing. I saw Sabadell as the ‘last man standing’ as up until recently (last time I used them was end of last year), they charged €1.80 for domestic and international customers. As stated above they are on the verge of merging with BBVA who charge €7 (though it’s dragging on a...

    ATM colour chart

    ...cooperation or not or financial sanctions in place, and so on and so forth. One of the banks frequently cited in these threads as among the most expensive, at my end charges zero on withdrawal. Best bet frankly is ask YOUR bank which is the best ATM to withdraw from in Spain, or Portugal, etc.

    ATM colour chart

    For those of you who are using the ATM colour chart. One bank is suggested at less than 2 Euro when in fact was 4.50 Euro per withdrawal

    Wise Debit Card on the Camino

    Right on cue I just went into a shop to buy something, and payment declined as my card was frozen!! Done this about 10 times this week normally when there is a big queue behind me! But yes this is a pretty standard feature certainly from a UK standpoint. Other stuff includes setting contactless...

    Wise Debit Card on the Camino

    This sounds awesome! I am new to this whole app debit card thing (hard to believe I am only 30 LOL) and this whole using a virtual card at an ATM sounds awesome too. I might practice before I go. Thanks for sharing your experience with Schwab, sounds like the real winner for USA folks like myself.

    Wise Debit Card on the Camino

    ...I can do this with all of my credit and debit cards. It's pretty standard now. Last year I only used the "tap" function to withdraw cash from ATMs, eliminating any worry about the machine "eating" my card. Up until today I had always done it with my actual card, but today I used the card...

    Wise Debit Card on the Camino

    ...really is quite cool being able to freeze the card whenever its not in use and also creating virtual cards is kind of awesome, and so is the tap ATM. I plan on freezing my wise debit card all day and unfreezing whenever I am paying something using the card, not cash. I also created a...

    Wise Debit Card on the Camino

    Since you are in the US I strongly recommend a Schwab Account and debit card. It's so easy to set up, and you never have to worry about ATM fees anywhere. There's also no foreign transaction fees and no minimum balance.

    Wise Debit Card on the Camino

    It works the same as in retail and public transport etc. The atm has to have the contactless panel that you scan your digital card on with your phone. Your then required to enter the pin for your card and proceed as normal. Not all atm's have this facility and varies from bank to bank but they...

    Wise Debit Card on the Camino

    You can use a digital card on an ATM? I've never done that, can you tell me how? (Is it as simple as "wave your phone at the ATM"?)

    Something I learned this evening..thank you.

    Wise Debit Card on the Camino

    Wise also has the option of generating a digital card through the app to use for contactless payment and atm use via your phone. My Wise account was hacked in Portugal by approx 2000e over a dozen transactions. Lucky all were still pending when I contacted Wise and I was fully credited. My card...

    Wise Debit Card on the Camino

    My bank only charges 1% and they refund all my ATM fees, which is kinda why I didn't take it seriously! I have a backup card that charges 3.5%, I would prefer not to use that one!

    Sure don’t worry. It will be fairly small numbers anyway. Check what your current card offers ATM withdrawal wise and contactless wise. You will probably only need to make one ATM withdrawal anyway and the test can be contactless.

    Wise Debit Card on the Camino

    I figured out how to add cash to it as a transfer and you're right, I can use for tap to pay. Thanks for the tip about pre-converting the monies to Euros. Thanks!

    Wise Debit Card on the Camino

    ...take phone tap-to-pay contactless payments. You just won't be able to do anything that needs the physical card, like withdrawing Euros from an ATM. As Jungleboy mentioned, you would use the app to load your native currency (USD). Once it's in your Wise account (ie, your balance on Wise has...
