Euros for going on hols
Evening Abers. Going to the Gran Canaria next week. Just wondering what is the best way to go about getting the foreign currency. Would it be best to get them from the cashpoint over there or get them here in the UK.

If you get it here you will be paying 5% or so to buy cash (buried in the exchange rate so you can't see it)
