If you are living in Barcelona you may want to open an account with one of the following three banks.
La Caixa
This Catalan bank is the third
largest in Spain and huge in Catalonia with over 10 million customers.
It offers excellent services and La Caixa ATMs are literally on every
street corner in Barcelona. For trivia fans, their logo was designed by
the famous Catalan artist Joan Miró. www.lacaixa.com
Caixa Catalunya
Not as big nationwide as La Caixa
but a very popular bank in Barcelona and Catalunya. Again many ATMs
around the centre of Barcalona. www.caixacatalunya.es
BBVA
Again very high profile in
Barcelona, although originally a Basque bank. Perhaps not as well
serviced in terms of ATMs than La Caixa, but it is the second largest
bank in Spain after Banco Santander. www.bbva.com
