I use Solbank and Caja Murcia - both I have found very helpful. CM has a very good online banking service.

Halifax is great and if you have a Halifax account in UK you can transfer money to Spain for free (and the rate is competative too). You can do everything on line or by phone and all in good old expat friendly Inglese!

If it’s any help, we opened our Spanish Halifax bank account in the UK at our local Halifax branch! You need to make an appointment and the rest is easy..
