To the OP try and use inside ATMs when possible. Less risk of somebody having tampered with it. Check with your bank if they have some sort of deal with somebody in Spain. You may find one group of Spanish banks less costly then the others.

Interesting, so far I have lived in the UK, Spain, Germany and the Czech Republic and travelled in a few more countries and only came across 4-digit numeric codes. Does your 5-digit code work also in Spain? SY

We just recently set up a checking account with Charles Schwab. We will get a visa debit card from this account. The benefits:
- NO foreign exchange fees when we use the card
- NO ATM fees (Schwab reimburses the account monthly for any fees that Banks charge)
If you are interested in this type of account, just remember to set it up a couple of weeks before your trip because it takes a few days to verify your information and a few days to mail the debit card to you.
Buen Camino,
Susan
