Do You Need a Spanish Bank?

Hi Jim, Good to see you back on the forum again. You probably would survive without a Spanish bank account but it's like being poor; nothing wrong with it, but it's awkward.

You can have all the utilities invoice you and you'll have a path worn out for paying what's due every month not to mention the queue when you arrive at the bank. The easiest way is to have a Spanish account - a necessary "evil." Like 'em or hate 'em it's the best choice of a bad lot.

Hi Matthew,

I’m travelling to Huercal Overa at the end of the month for the Winter to have a look around areas to see where I might want to live. Still a bit of selling and buying of properties to sort out but as you are aware the market in Ireland is very buoyant at the moment and a house similar to mine sold in a few weeks. I did lose interest with the forum because 90% of the posts were asking about PCR tests.
