There is one further down by aldi in la zenia rate at the moment is. 1.13.....always open every day except bank holidays
Hi. I use XE Money Transfer (online). Their rate is governed by money markets, but I just checked the rate and it was 1.144. They transfer direct to your bank in Spain with no transfer charges. Always top rates and speedy transfer. They are based in UK and very helpful.

To quote xe.com.
ie the rate they quote will not be the rate you get when you make a transfer as not available to consumer clients.
British Pound1 GBP = 1.15506 EUR↔Euro1 EUR = 0.865759 GBP2018-04-17 20:04 UTCAll figures are based on live mid-market rates. These rates are not available to consumer clients
1.144 was the rate I exchanged at. The mid market rate was higher.

With TransferWise i transfer to my Spanish bank account and go from there. Because they charge a small fee they actually give the mid market rate.
The fee is not large and can be minimised by paying them by bank transfer/faster payments. You can pay by debit card but they charge a higher fee on that.
