Unless you planning on spending 1000's of euros I would pre order your currency on line at one of the big supermarket chains over here
Important that you pre order on line and not just walk in
The difference is negligible in Spain and if your only here for a holiday its not worth the bother exchanging when you get there

As previously advised, but before travelling.
Here is a useful link that will take the legwork out of finding the best rate on line.

We used to order online from Thomas Cook and collect it in person. Got a better rate than just walking in.
In Spain I use my Santander 123 account and withdraw money from the cash point at Santander bank. Slightly better rate than the money exchange shops in Spain and no commission. But you must have a Santander account in UK and use a Santander cash point in Spain.
