Hi.  Like everyone else we use La Caixa, but the branch in Roquetes opposite the Post Office.  The manager there is Andreu and a more helpful chap you would not expect to find.  I was also impressed yesterday when he turned up for the funeral of Susanne - I don't think that my bank manager with HSBC would do that.  Again the charges are very cheap, and they also offer the option of a sterling account.
