Get yourself a Nationwide card and use it in the ATMs, you'll get the best exchange rate and no charges or commission, always select NO when asked if you want to be charged in Euros and you will get a better exchange rate.
Thanks...........Had a Nationwide card for 23 years, before they got popular just for using abroad
Still curious what the rates doing over in Lanzarote at the moment.
p.s. Im now intrigued because your advise above and on the 1st page conflicts with the post by Trev ?
To be honest in all the many years using the N card I don't think I've been asked the Q at an ATM.....only what language I want

I have been asked the question, do you want the transaction in euros or GBP, at several ATM's in Spain, but not at all of them. I too have had a Nationwide FlexAccount card for 20+ years before I realised it was the best deal for withdrawals abroad.

just to clarify..robertk is absolutly right about everything except if you want the maximum amount of euros for your sterling the asian shops cannot be beat,they are still giving 5 points above the general exchange rates like nationwide use. i have a nationwide card myself. incidentally as of yesterday it was 1.32 at the asian exchange i use, around 1.27 nationwide. i have it on good authority these terrible rates over here arnt getting any better soon.
But if you use the asian shops you're just helping them launder money!
Why do you think you get such a good rate?

With the euro rate being so low at the moment, does anyone have any idea what the exchange rate is over in PDC? Just wondering if better to take Sterling and change it over there.
If you have a nationwide card you will get a better exchange rate and no charges if you use the ATMs.
If not, don't break your neck trying to get the odd cent.

I ordered our Euros over the internet about 6 weeks ago. Got a very good rate , but the problem is they have sent me a load of 100 euro notes. Now I know the hassle we have in the U.K. changing £50 pound notes, especially if you are buying some thing for £2.50. I can see the same problem in PDC,and wonder if it would be possible to change them for smaller denominations in a Spanish bank. I have asked in the U.K. but they are not interested.
Any thoughts.

The banks will change them to smaller notes no problem.
Even if you arrived when they're closed or if you don't happen upon one immediately there are a multitiude of friendly bar owners who would oblige I'm certain

robert i have heard your argument before..but people just want to know where to get the lowest rate of exchange,and it makes more difference than just a few cents.
Just trying to help.
Just come back from PDC and the rate was 1.27, about the same as here.
Janbabe did you try any good eateries that you could share with us.
