Will be spending about a fortnight in Spain and 6 days in Morocco.
Can anyone tell me if ATM are readily available in both places?
Concerned about accessing funds in Morocco.
Thanks for your advice.

Used my citibank visa debit card while in Morocco in Oct 2015, no problems getting money out.
Wherever tourists are, ATMs followDone a lot of reading about this exact topic/situation.
28 Degrees seems like a big mistake, where-as Citibank Plus is pure win.I'll have both, but for backup. It's the citibank that will be getting all the work.
Used my 28 degrees card whilst in Spain with no problems. Though this was Oct/nov 2014 before they introduced the ATM fee free cash advance fee.
Normal Oz Bargain recommendation is a CitiBank Plus account for purchases and cash withdrawals. I don't think you'll need much cash in Spain. You can use your normal credit card or the Citibank plus account.
You'll be fine in Spain with a Visa or MasterCard (just be aware of your banks fees and charges and let them know where you're going prior to travel).
Had a mate who went to Morocco last year and he used his Visa for the lot including cash out at ATMs, I remember speaking to him about it afterwards. He didn't seem concerned at all about it, but he's a very frequent traveller.
The Tripadvisor Money Page for Morocco seems to agree - that there are ATMs in the big places.
