== ATMs ==
```Warning```: There are no ATMs in Palomino itself. Ideally you bring enough cash to last you a while, or even the entire stay.
If you need to get more cash (a lot of nice places only accept cash), you need to go to an ATM in Mingueo, which is the next larger town to the East. It's about 20km (or minutes) away from Palomino. Options to get there are:
* Wait for any bus going East. You can find the "bus stop" on OSM, and you can likely also just flag it down when you see it.
* Go to the stop for mini-van shared taxis, which is when you turn right on the main from when coming from the beach road (carrera 6), where the first shops begin on the other side of the road. The vans should have a sign in the window that says "Mingeo", and the price should be 5000 COP each way.
* Use a moto taxi. Most convenient option, as they will also wait for you and then immediately drive you back. Price should be 20000 COP return.
