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.

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"

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.

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.
