The ATM has worked just fine everytime I have been there and there is a money delivery at least once a week to keep us tourists in cash.
Life is good ;)

I took sterling and euros when I went in mid June. Glad that I did as the ATM wasn't working for a couple of days at the end of my holiday, my friends had problems along with others, and not everywhere would accept a card as payment.  They eventually managed to get some money from one of the travel shops.

I'm pretty certain it does....I'm sure my HSBC card is maestro and I've used it there before....but of course there will be a charge.

Hi Stu,

Yes the villa is mine (lol, well Keith's and mine!)...it's just up the road from the Tria Adelphia so if you find time for a walk during your 3 weeks Phil will point  you in the right direction. :-)

Three weeks, how good is that?   Lucky lucky you.

Yes 3 weeks, cant wait...! but not as lucky as you, look at the villa you have there...lol!
we arrive 28th July, and yes will try get up to the villa while we are there, would love to look round, are you out there at all during my 3 weeks?
we alternate our hols, 1 year arillas, me, elaine & josh, the next we go with a group of friends - usually to Icmeler in Turkey. Been trying to bring/persuade our friends to come to Arillas, telling them how great it is etc..
Your villa looks a perfect base.
Stu

Mine is a Nationwide Visa debit card and that worked fine. However, in the past I have successfully used my HSBC debit card which has a Cirrus logo in the Arillas ATM.
