Just came back from Arillas. Olga's Travel giving 1.465.
Hopefully all the house snagging will be done by 1st week in August. Probably when we get the final bill I'll need all the free Ouzos I can get!!.

Hopefully, by September the rate will have risen to over 1.5  ;-)

The reason I mention this, I have found a number of times the rates are worse in the main holiday season. (Don't know about Cor Phew though)
In reality it is probably only pennies per transaction.  But I need all the pennies I can get.  :-)
