i was given the folllowing advice on another forum regarding using my solo card in estartit
Only if your card has a Maestro logo it can be used abroad:

Can Solo be used abroad?

If you have a Maestro logo on the back of your card, you can use it abroad wherever you see the Maestro sign, just as you would use Solo in the UK - but be aware that in some countries you may be asked to use your PIN as identification (as is now happening in the UK). If you have Maestro and/or Cirrus on your card, you can use it to withdraw cash at machines where these logos are displayed. Contact your bank for details of any charges you might incur when making transactions abroad.

In this case you will be charged 1.50%(min.£1.75)+2.75% for cash withdrawals abroad: Information on tariffs on our current accounts For withdrawals more than £116.70 you pay 1.5%+2.75%=4.25%. £200*4.25%=£8.50

hi
I dont have a cirrus logo on my card, but i was informed that if somewhere shows visa electron then i can use that card.

But if someone should see this logo at cash machines can they let me know, we're off in 5 weeks.
