Banco Sabadell (Torre del Mar)

The Banco Sabadell branch in Torre del Mar is on Avenida de Andalucía, in the banking stretch of the town.

Spanish accounts have fees, and they are not always obvious

Most Spanish banks charge a maintenance fee on a current account, waived if you meet conditions such as a salary paid in or a certain number of direct debits. A non resident who uses the account twice a year meets none of those conditions, and the fee applies.

Ask for the fee schedule in writing before you open anything, and ask three questions specifically: the annual account fee, the card fee, and the charge for receiving a transfer from outside the euro area. Then compare with the online banks, which in Spain generally do not charge these and are used by plenty of foreign owners for exactly that reason. A branch on the avenue has real value the day something goes wrong, and it is worth knowing what you are paying for it.
