No I'm actually the tax-accessor-for-every-sad-cliche of Seville. If you'll just send your credit card number, expiration date and that 3-digit security code from the reverse side, I can complete our transaction.

Nice. I prefer Catalonia but I really enjoyed my time in Seville as well.

Cool that there is an Avenida de Kansas City as well.

I was in the Barcelona/Cadeques/Figueres region for a holiday back in April. Very, very nice. Hoping to spend more time up there.

Well kind Sir you happens to be in the luck. Send me your US dollares and I will exchange it at a 1 to 1 rate.
Of course I will need all of your personal and bank account information and rekwire you to xchange at least $1000.

or just use an ATM with your credit card

The ATM thing is probably good, but if you're in a large city some banks will give you a good rate if you pick it up in the U.S. I think it's better for them to do that than ship the money back somewhere. When I went to South Africa, one of our banks gave us a good rate and also an agreement to buy back any unused currency at either the same rate or no fee or something that was a pretty good deal. I think it was a no-fee deal.

In my experience....get it from your bank before you go (if you can). My bank charges no fees for the exchange (as a long-time customer). It was a little bit of a hassle because only the main bank could make the exchange, but there were no fees.

DO NOT exchange at the airport if you can avoid it.

Just use the ATM. If you go to any of those money-changers you're going to get ripped off.

Hey, have fun!

I used the ATMs while I was in Spain and it worked out great. Daily exchange rates and I didn't need to carry a lot of cash.

A name like Marco Polo and you've never been to Europe?

Make sure you inform your bank ahead of time before you travel if this is your plan. Sometimes banks will see foreign transactions and lock an account, especially if it's not normal for such transactions to appear on the account and they are for large amounts.
