Due to the varying strength of the pound and the euro (€), the exchange rate currently varies between €1.2 and €1.3 to the pound. Go to a currency converter for an up-to-date exchange rate.
Prices are similar to the UK, with a glass of wine normally around €2.5, and a good meal out about €15.
There are plenty of money exchange places, both at the airport and in the centre of Barcelona. One easy option is to use the ATM bank machines with your bank card or credit card. The exchange rate is competitive, and a fixed charge is normally applied. Because of this fixed charge, its worth getting your weekends worth of currency in one withdrawal, rather than being charged several times for several smaller withdrawals. |
