Euro exchange rate please in resort as arriving 4th June please
-
Hi
Exchange rates change daily/hourly depending on market influences.
Today in UK its 1.1326 on line.
My experience is that sometimes the local exchange rate is slightly lower, sometimes its slightly higher, than the UK.
The choice is yours, buy before you go, or buy when there.Whatever you decide you will not loose or gain a lot.

Cheers Geoff . I will get them over there as and when I need to
-
Got 1.11 yesterday in olgas travel
-
Never, ever seen the exchange rate in resort to be better than the UK, plus there's always a 2% commission to deduct in resort.
Get euros in the UK or get a "no commission credit card"
-
Well worth reading -

Thanks for that Terry!
We've only done that once and it was this year in krakow. Certainly won't be doing it again. It was only because we had ran out of Zloty and had a meal before we left for the airport.

Hi
Rate on line for Sainsbury’s today is 1.1196 for Necter card holders and 1.1174 without. Not so good
Other than that the best rate on line is 1.1326

If you was in Arillas today and used a Halifax Clarity card you would get a rate of 1.150.

Just shows you how good it is

I used the ATM by Arillas cars a few days ago (ordinary debit card) and got 1.05!!! - shocking.

Hi
The USA has just declared it will impose trade tariffs on steel and aluminium products from the EU amongst other countries, from midnight tonight. Will make a difference on exchange rates.
Geoff

Trouble is you never know which way it will effect the rates..... SO unpredictable

Hi
The odd time we have bought currency in Arillas we used the place where you can book coach trips etc just along from the Armourda towards Brouklis on the opposite side of road. Always got a good rate, commission free. We always used cash (£) for the transaction

Hi
Should improve the rate
Geoff

I have thought this before with economic changes and then the rate goes the other way to what the experts predict.....
Hopefully you are right mate ☺

Hi
The £ will buy more €. It certainly wont buy less.
Geoff
It’s not all gain though because as the £ gets stronger against the € our exports become more expensive for the EU to buy
-
I know, the company I work for is really effected as we export a lot to Europe.

Hi
I must not mention the you know what, and the scare mongers doing their best to bog down negotiations, will also reflect in the exchange rate.
Geoff

I think it is best not to mention the "you know what" Geoff and respect the fact that some of us didn't want it. :-(

Hi
Believe it or not, this thread is the first I have ever started on the subject of ‘’you know what’’
I have the utmost respect for those not enamoured with the results of ‘’you know what’’ The same as I do when a general/local election doesn’t go my way. I have to accept it.
My biggest grouse is with those in Parliament and the Lords (don’t get me started on the Lords) who will not accept that as a democratic country we had a democratic vote and unanimously voted for ‘’you know what’’.
Because of their egos and selfish desires they will not respect a democratic vote, they are more interested in their own agendas and political careers together with their EU pension rights, than they are by this countries democratic voice and future.
The doom and gloom merchants have been proved wrong time and time again. Their interventions make a good exit of ‘’you know what’’ very difficult. We are so often negotiating from a weak position rather than one of strength, as ‘’you know who’’ are aware of the political unrest and lack of unity. We should be in strong position to make a good exit.
When we leave, and we will, and the deal is not perfect, blame will be with the political elite who think they know better than the electorate, not with the Referendum result.
They need us more than we need them. Why else do they keep throwing up obstacles? Because they don’t want us to leave the ‘’you know what’’. They want to thwart our exit at every stage believing our resolve will fail.
If everybody accepted that the UK made a democratic decision, respected it, and worked together to negotiate the leaving of ‘’ you know what’’ on good terms we will be great again.
I have just heard a voice in the back of my mind saying ‘’shut up’’ so I will.

We shouldn’t be surprised! Nothing really changes for the better. Whatever happens it is never in our control anyway.

Dimitris, can you please delete any posts that mention Brexit. This is not a political soap box for people of a certain persuasion. The Brexit vote has caused quite a lot of misery for people who use the forum, and we can do without the political statements being made.
The title of this Topic is "Arriving 4th June wandered what exchange rate is please?" Is is not asking about the wrongs and rights of Brexit

Hi Terry
My comment that prompted your response was, I thought, a light hearted reply, in context re the exchange rate.
I thought I answered your comment about (my?) lack of respect of others views on '' you know what'' Maybe in too much detail? Possibly.
Although, I feel I must add, that censorship is not democracy.
If you are in Arillas in Sept I will buy you a pint.

I'll say it, if nobody else will.
It's not censorship.
Some people are just getting a bit fed up of you turning posts into a political soapbox at every opportunity.
You've made your opinions clear now, on numerous occasions.
Please can we be spared further comments on the subject?

I am in Arillas , September , and a pint would go down nicely with that Colmans!!
Meanwhile ...... the exchange rate hovers around e1.11. I am told though , that if you want to exchange large amounts , this is negotiable. (not really sure)

Hi
It will be a pleasure. Perhaps I could find a nice pork pie to share as well.

Maybe a bit longer since the Italian election and their banking crisis together with the Bank of England now talking about dropping the base rate due to ''you know what.
Interesting someone just said on another thread that the local exchange was 1.17!!!!
