Hi All,
I'm guessing this question might have come up a couple of times before, but I can't find a topic which covers mainly this.
Right now, I'm assuming that most of the towns the Camino passes would have at least an ATM machine somewhere (or at least the bigger ones at a minimum). Is my assumption fair?
I'm considering between purchasing a pre-paid visa card for my trip, or using my existing cards for purchases and cash withdrawals.
Has anyone used any of the methods before?
Pre-paid visa cards - I'm assuming the ATMs accept them without any issues?
Credit cards - Any one have any idea what's the extra fees they had to pay per withdrawal? After realising that by using my normal bank card for cash withdrawal I'll be incurring a lower exchange rate, commission charges and ATM fees, I'm thinking the pre-paid visa card might work out better for me in the long run.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Bien Camino
