Spanish Saving's Account - Idea's Pls.

cozzie

I am looking to open a savings account in Spain as I have heard that this is a good way of "getting into the system" with regards to Residencia and Mortgages etc without actually being a resident.

Is there anybody out there with any ideas as to which bank has online facilities in English, has good rates and will let me open an account? Or wether or not it is a good idea.

Thanks in advance for any help, all comments gratefully received.
