Re: Bank accounts
I work between the UK and Madrid and hold a Spanish Santander account - all you need to open one is your passport.
Transferring money between accounts is then relatively simple by Spanish standards, especially if your UK account is Santander too.

Re: Bank accounts
Where about in CBS is your holiday home? You should choose a bank with a branch located nearby.
I have an account with Barclays.es in Ciudad Quesada. Zero charges for money transfer into the account, good exchange rate and cash back on my direct debits.
If and when not in Spain and I need to carry out a transaction which is not possible via internet banking, I send them an e mail and it gets actioned the next working day.
