I was able to take 280 euros out with Halifax card, this isn't far off the £200 daily allowance at home. Just looked at my bank statement and the bank charge was £1.50, not too bad.

I used this several times during my stay in Arillas recently. I took out 300 euros each time and I think the rate was 1.48. I'm with Nationwide with no charges so that has to be the best way of doing things. However, a word of caution....don't rely solely on the ATM...it was out of order most of the day on 16 August, but they did manage to fix it by the next day. Maybe it ran out of money?

I reckon you emptied it Sandy.  ;-)

Because we're on Self-Catering, 300 Euros is what we're taking between us for the week.  :-)

Just to justify the installation of the ATM in Arillas, I used it whilst there.

I'll find out what the rate and charges were later  ;-)

I've got that much for the first few days.
By the time you have been to the "supermarket and bought water, milk, bread, honey, Mythos, Metaxa and ouzo there is a big slice gone. And that is on the day I arrive!!

Being from a Scottish background,  (Och Aye The Noo)

I learned to be thrifty. ( Not mean)  ;-)

I went to the Mini-Market near the Bakery. The family there had a good selection of goods, at reasonable prices.

The local Arillas Wine sold there was attractively priced, and quite palatable.
I showed a bottle I just bought to Heidi and EEG, as I was walking back to the apartment.

I bought 4 times 5 litres of water for 1.75 Euros each whilst we were there.

Was it just a liquid diet James or did you eat as well?

I have just joined Nationwide for that exact reason!

So come on....How many times has it run out of money?

Not everytime I've used it but that's maybe only a once a month average.

Hi everyone,
We've been to Arillas a couple of times but not since the ATM was installed. Going back end of next week and was wondering how reliable the ATM is, does it break down regularly, how often is it filled, etc. Appreciate any recent information.
Thanks, Dai
