      Unicaja and Liberbank merged in 2021. But surprisingly, you can still see logos of both banks, depending on which part of Spain you are in. Anyway, if Unicaja withdrawals are free for you, Liberbank withdrawals will also be free.

      We used a Maya Mobile eSIM card with 10 gigs of data for $16. It was easy to set up and they have high ratings for customer service. I would suggest you first call your US provider and see what they charge to add European countries. I found...

      We use the Wise card when we travel. It has some of the lowest fees. Also, it is what the tour guides use in our Wheel and Anchor travel company.

      We have found, coming from the US and traveling 2-3 months at a time overseas, that T-Mobile is the least hassle and best plan for us. It has unlimited data and unlimited texting. Call prices are about the same as other major US plans. We have...
