thanks for the advise. does the banks have to show a visa sign and is there many in benidrom? :t
we might get a bit more for our pound than we have been getting recently.
The ECB is set to reduce their interest rate to 1% tomorrow , this brings it down more closely to our interest rate and may well strengthen the pound against the Euro?
so heres hoping.

lets hope we get more this year i was getting 125 last year in salou.
There are plenty of banks around and as far as I know, they will all accept Visa debit cards.

There's even a Barclays! I used the machine outside last year and also the machine at the Abbey (Banco de Santander).
Does anybody know who is providing the best exchange rate in the UK at the moment ?
Don't bother changing money in the uk, change it in Benidorm, you always get a lot better rate
I don't know if you have one but the best rate around our way seems to be at the money converters, it's one of those places where you can also cash cheques. They are offering a better rate than The post offfice and the High street travel agents at the moment. I used to find M&S and Tescos quite good but it doesnt seem to be the case anymore.
I think fuzzyfell, been a frequent visitor to Benidorm will know that the rate is usually better in resort but probably doesn't want to arrive without any euros to be going on with.

Does anyone know of a reliable bank that i can withdraw money from near the flamingo benidorm hotel. also would i get more euros if i took english money rather than sterling traveller checks. and where is the best places to exchange money. i know iam asking lots of questions about this, but iam trying to get the best info. sorry lol
sorry lol
Thanks for your reply Sue, I'm not sure if there is a money converter near us. I will have a look.
The post office is offering 1.10 today so not too bad.
I need about 150 euro's when I arrive to pay for the transfer and get a few bits before I go to the cash machine.
You are right I am a frequent visitor to Benidorm I have lost count but it must be close to 50 visits in the last 20 years.

Hi can anyone tell me where the barrel is??
Hi there. We are off to Punta Prima in less than 2 weeks. Best online UK exchange is kensington currency exchange. Next day special delivery. Used them loadsa times. Always much better than any t/agent, P/O etc
Thanks
Tonya
Thanks

Hi tonya what exchange rate are you getting from that company ..I noticed it doesnt give you the rate you need to call or mail them .. Kind regards mazza
Hi Mazza. It was 1.12e to the £ last week. I know its dropped and but then went back up again yesterday. If you email/phone Sammy there at Kensington, he will give you quote. You either pay into RBS or Lloyds over-the-counter or online banking, then they email you to confirm that they have recieved it and post out next -day- signed for Special Delivery.
If you want more than £500, its free delivery. If P/O is 1.10 to the £, it will be better than that-probs about 1.12/1.13 to the £.
Hope that this helps.
Thanks
