How to withdraw euros cheaply on Tenerife?
El Médano is a small town, but there are enough cash machines. Most importantly, avoid Euronet ATMs – they charge high fees (mark-up + DCC).
Recommended cards (2026)
- Revolut – best choice (free withdrawals up to the limit)
- Wise – very good exchange rates
- Curve + standard card – often avoids fees
The best cash machines in El Médano are CaixaBank, Banco Santander and Bankia (now CaixaBank). Avoid Euronet at supermarkets and on the promenade.
Tip: Always choose "Without Conversion" (decline DCC) – let your bank handle the currency conversion.
