Here or There?
I intend to go to Majorca for a fortnight and want to take �1000 spending money.
I'll need cash (euros) with me to cover at least one day's needs I know, but should I change the rest of my money before I go or once I get there?
I'm going in a few days time so don't have any time to apply for any additional debit cards.
So should I exchange here or there?

They vary between charging nothing, a 2.75% exchange rate loading, and a 2.75% loading AND a fee.
Either of the first two get the cash there. The last get it here IF you can find a good rate. The Post Office and most of the banks and travel agents will not have a good rate - M&S probably will.
