Based on what I have read in this forum, no such thing exists in Spain. Sorry.

All banks in Spain charge maintenance fees up to €60 per quarter for non residents accounts.
A lot of forum members are moving away from the usual Spanish banks and having accounts with online banks such as Wise Online Banking.
Look here for more information:

Imagin is 100% free, it is part of the La Caixa group but because it's all online its free and it has a direct phone number which (surprisingly) has very good quick customer service. You can use all the La Caixa cash points and also get help in their branches

Imagin (no 'e') looks very good but one condition is that you have to be a Spanish resident so no good for non residents.

Autocorrect, now changed. I assumed they were. But either way hopefully it will help others who are residents looking to change or open a new account. So far I have been more than happy with them

I changed to Cajamar weferrent online account 3 yrs ago, and as a non resident havent paid a cent in fees since. Written many replies on subject here and no time now to explain more. Wrote a very lengthy report on Costa Calida forum under. Free bank for non residents, anyway we are delighted with their service. You need to go into branch to oen as a non resident.
