Hi Jo, I think I read last week that the rate was similar in Arillas... about 1.5/6 so it might not be worth changing it in the UK. It is still not that good though is it, we had friends who went to Corfu recently and they said the price of things weren't any different from last year really, although there werent many people in the restaurants, Ag. Geroge sth. not every night anyway, more and more people eat where they stay and alternate it.
We have never used online exchange or even the post office currency... we do change about £100 before we go either at the airport (very high rates) but thats because we never have much time to organise it before we go.. its just enough to cover the taxi and something to eat when we get there and bits and pieces.... like extra looooo rolls and wine!!
You must be excited you are off soon arent you?
