Otherwise, if I want to change USD (and/or CDN) dollars, would I get a better exchange rate in Spain or North America?
Finally... does anyone recommend pre-paid money cards? If so, where do I obtain them?
Muchas gracias!!
Just checking in about these questions again - rules might have changed in three years...
Is it still best to use ATMs in Spain to withdraw euros? If so, are there also ATMs along the path (Camino Frances)?

We cannot get euro cards from our bank in UK, that is why I suggested the travel agent. I think TravelX type cards etc can be bought - but it does need checking on-line. We pay cash when loading ours, no charge added for the exchange as on a bank/credit card transaction.Things like € cards are more common in the EU then outside. My Canadian bank offers Euro accounts but not bank cards. Unfortunately if the OP is in North America the choices will be limited.
Cecilia,Hi,
I searched but couldn't find much on this subject. Any advice for currency exchange in the US (dollars to euros) before arriving to Spain?
I bring my bank/credit card with me, but one must have currency upon arrival to Spain. My bank always tells me that exchange is free, but they always have hidden charges. Thanks in advance.
Buen Camino,
Cecilia
Also as I said above make sure you only have a 4- not a 6- digit PIN4. Most important!!! If your PIN has letters in it, transpose them to numbers. European ATMs numbers and letters don't correspond to ours!
