Title: Bureau de Change ?
Post by roswell on Nov 6^th, 2010 at 10:44am

Hi,

A friend needs to change a few hundred Pounds into Euros, does Torotsa have a Bureau de Change anywhere ?

I seem to remember struggling last time I looked.

If your friend can use an ATM,you'll get a slightly better rate as apposed to a straight forward Sterling to Euro cash transaction

Good idea, many thanks, but sadly no ATM card, needs to turn paper Sterling into Euros.

Hi Roswell,

My elderly Father arrive last month with � sterling, we went to La Caixa to change it into Euros, he didn't get a very good rate at all, so now he's just taking Euros out of the hole in the wall with his Abbey card, and getting a better exchange rate, he will then just take his � back home when he goes.
