    Collecting a list of cash-machine / bank ATM fees in Spain

    Doing the Norte in 2018, Liberbank were my saviours. The amount of fees I managed to avoid by using them instead of big-name banks .

    Collecting a list of cash-machine / bank ATM fees in Spain

    Cheers. It's good info. If anyone wants to volunteer to collect the fees for the US users, I'll happily visualise them into a cheatsheet :-) From what I gather this is less important for the US users though, as they often have these bank accounts that refund the fees, or so I've heard.

    Collecting a list of cash-machine / bank ATM fees in Spain

    I do hope that our attempts to codify these charges aren't as doomed to failure as you suggest! I'm certainly aware that they only seem to hold true for UK and EU users, with much more variation for US users. I would certainly be interested to hear from more people who have had wildly different...

    Collecting a list of cash-machine / bank ATM fees in Spain

    Thanks very much for the info. I've moved Caixa to the red zone and done a small update of the cheatsheet!

    Collecting a list of cash-machine / bank ATM fees in Spain

    Thanks Sirage. The cheat sheet summary page already exists at: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/resources/spanish-atm-cash-machine-fee-cheat-sheet.749/ I've just done a small 2023 update to it :)

    Collecting a list of cash-machine / bank ATM fees in Spain

    Ouch - yes, I think I had something similar on Mallorca GR221. Needless to say I pressed cancel! This is why Caixa is definitely in the red category on my cheat-sheet. I also have a Nationwide card, but never use it abroad because they add their *own* additional fees on top of the Spanish fees...

    Route suggestions once you've done all the obvious caminos?

    Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions, if I didn't reply personally. So many suggestions here I'm going to be busy for the next decade :)

    Route suggestions once you've done all the obvious caminos?

    Thanks Fred. The Dos Faros is definitely one I'm considering doing, perhaps with a tent in my pack too.

    Route suggestions once you've done all the obvious caminos?

    Thanks, combining that with the Ingles is a really great idea. 50% quiet coastal route, 50% busy land route - sounds great!

    Route suggestions once you've done all the obvious caminos?

    Thanks for your detailed and thoughtful response. The Le Puy is really calling to me - I'm just not sure whether to try this year or wait till a potentially less crowded one, that's all :)

    Route suggestions once you've done all the obvious caminos?

    Holy moly! That's one for when I'm retired ^^ Thank you!

    Thanks for that link, Kevin. It's a really informative page.

    Route suggestions once you've done all the obvious caminos?

    Thanks Amancio. I haven't done Invierno so it's a strong candidate, especially combining it with Finisterre as you suggest :)
  14. Ungawawa

    Route suggestions once you've done all the obvious caminos?

    Thanks Rick. I'd never heard of the camino Ignatius before. That's quite an intriguing one. I'm very tempted by a French camino, probably le Puy, but am a bit uncertain about the costs and difficulty of trying it in a holy year.
  15. Ungawawa

    Route suggestions once you've done all the obvious caminos?

    A backwards camino - intriguing! Did you find any other people doing it in that direction? I imagine it must be a little strange seeing a different camino family every single day.
  16. Ungawawa

    Route suggestions once you've done all the obvious caminos?

    Thanks Amancio. I definitely want to do the Plata, but rather feared I'd left it too late in the year for that now. Have you tried walking it yourself in the summer?
  17. Ungawawa

    Route suggestions once you've done all the obvious caminos?

    I'd not heard of it to be honest. Just googled it and it does look beautiful, but the prospect of Switzerland does ring budget alarms for me. I really can't afford much more than about 40 euros a day. That's probably not feasible, right?
  18. Ungawawa

    Route suggestions once you've done all the obvious caminos?

    Thanks skevin - that's an interesting proposition. The Madrid camino does interest me. Are you totally alone there though? I don't mind the odd night on my own, but I wouldn't want every night to be like that because I'm quite a socialble person.
  19. Ungawawa

    Route suggestions once you've done all the obvious caminos?

    I'm looking for camino or trail suggestions now I have walked the most popular camino routes. Having done the Frances (both Aragones and St Jean variants), Norte, Portuguese (both central and coastal), Finisterre & Muxia, San Salvador and Primitivo, I'm stuck for where to choose next. (A nice...

    Cash Is King?

    Cash is still king, but if you have a card with contactless that will be useful for public transport.
