For The Travelers-Currency Exchange

I'm leaving Sunday for my first vacation in years! I'm going to backpack in Italy (will also be in Barcelona for a few days) for two and a half weeks. That being said, I've never been to Europe. What I'm wondering about is how to obtain Euros. Do you recommend I purchase Euros when I get into Barcelona or with a bank in the states in advance? If the answer is the former, do you recommend me getting them in the Barcelona airport or some other random bank in the city? Thanks for your help in advance!

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.

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

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

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.

Bump up your daily amount you can withdraw, if you have to.
Yea I did this till an ATM in Portugal ate my ATM card, talk about being ****ed!

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.
