      Just bring a passport and open a cuenta corriente that will take
      you 10 minutes. I have a couple of those accounts they're very
      handy.

      I have internet banking USD accounts ATM Cards, Visa Card
      the whole shebang! It depends where you are going. I'm on the
      Costa Blanca if you go there open an account with CAM (Caja Ahorro de Mediteraneo) http://www.cam.es/

              Don't know for sure but on the mainland there is ADSL in a lot of places and it works really good!

                  What is a cuenta corriente?
                  Is it just bank account or does it mean something special?

                      No problems if you have sufficient funds to deposit that will cover outgoings.

                      Banco Atlantico should fix you up but you will need to setup a static accommodation address.

                      Tenerife would be the best choice if language is a problem as there is more help available to overseas visitors.

                          Are you sure that i have to have a static address in Spain?
                          I was informed that a static address within EU would be enough in order to get an account with them..
                          I have to check this one..
                          Thanks for the reply anyway..

                                              I love Portuguese...it's a softer language, like the relationship between English and German.

                                                  A "cuenta corriente" is the same thing as a checking account. Strictly translated it means "current account", but people only use that term for countries any more

                                                  ( I forgot to mention that I lived 23 years in south america)
