Since this is a commonly used currency, it is more than likely that your branch has dollar notes, but, to make sure, it would be advisable to make the request a few days before your trip. You can carry out the exchange at any Banco Santander branch – the easiest way is to request an appointment here.
If you want to change dollars left over from your trip, you can also do this at bank branches.
You will have to identify yourself to exchange currencies, by way of a measure to prevent moneylaundering. When you carry out the transaction, you will be asked for your full name and ID number to accredit your identity.

Exchanging euros (EUR) for pounds (GBP).
Exchanging euros (EUR) for Swiss francs (CHF).
The US dollar is the official currency of the United States. It is the main reserve currency, and a benchmark currency for international transactions. Due to its value and importance, a number of countries have chosen the dollar as their official currency (such as Ecuador, El Salvador, East Timor or Zimbabwe), and in many other countries it is also a legal means of payment (e.g. Panama, United Arab Emirates or Qatar).
