No. But Banco Santander and Scotia Bank are "sister banks" with BofA -- so you can use your BofA ATM card at Santander or Scotia for no charge. (Use your BofA ATM card at other places and you'll get hit with all kinds of fees from both the owner of the ATM and Bank of America itself.)
I don't know about Scotia Bank, but I've used my BoA ATM card at Santander ATMs in Spain and was hit with multiple fees, so this answer is incorrect.
BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank and Barclay's are all sister banks of BofA. I use BNP all the time, and I just recently used both Deutsche Bank and Barclay's and I've yet to see any fees show up.
I recently used Deutsche Bank in Italy (6/1/11) and got charged a fee. Stick to anything BNP Paribas. also, BofA website states Scotia Bank is part of their "sister" banks or global alliance network

Why did Philip II of Spain start the inquisition?
The Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition(Spanish: Tribunal del Santo Oficio de la Inquisición), commonly known as the Spanish Inquisition (Inquisición española), was a tribunal established in 1480 by Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragonand Isabella I of Castile. It was intended to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in their kingdoms, and to replace the Medieval Inquisition which was under Papal control. It became the most substantive of the three different manifestations of the widerChristian Inquisition along with the Roman Inquisition and Portuguese Inquisition.
The Inquisition was originally intended in large part to ensure the orthodoxy of those who converted from Judaism and Islam. This regulation of the faith of the newly converted was intensified after the royal decrees issued in 1492 and 1501 ordering Jews and Muslims to convert or leave.
Various motives have been proposed for the monarchs' decision to fund the Inquisition such as increasing political authority, weakening opposition, suppressing conversos, profiting from confiscation of the property of convicted heretics, reducing social tensions and protecting the kingdom from the danger of a fifth column.
The body was under the direct control of the Spanish monarchy. It was not definitively abolished until 1834, during the reign ofIsabella II, after a period of declining influence in the previous century.
