Santander debit cards in Spanish ATMa

Noticed this on my bank statement today:
Fees for using a cash card on your current account at Santander Spain cash machines
From 1 May 2017 withdrawals from a Santander cash machine in Spain using a cash card on your current account will be charged in the same way as withdrawals from any other cash machine abroad: 1.5% of the value (at least £1.99), plus a currency conversion fee of 2.75% of the value. Fees may be higher if you make a withdrawal in Sterling, rather than local currency.
- so no more using Santander debit cards to avoid hefty charges for withdrawing cash while in Spain. (Santander Zero credit card is the next best option for me.)

Get yourself a Metro card.0

Presumably that's with a Gold Card and applies to all Santander ATMs abroad then, not just the Spanish ones?
I'll stick with the Clarity Card. We don't use our Santander one much abroad anyway. It's only as a backup.0
