Jeff,

Basically you'd be using a Cirrus/Mastercard, which is actually a Visa card. That would be a 4# PIN. That's the match you would make. If you want to see something interesting, go to their website http://www.mastercard.com/ and do a search for sites in Spain that you can use the cards. It's as complete as we have in the states. It doesn't even include merchants, it's just locations that you can get cash out of an ATM machine.... The vast majority of merchants, and other businesses accept them as well. Sure is a simple way to travel.

What I've always found interesting is the fact that the transactions actually seem to go through faster in Spain than they do here in the States. I have no idea why...
