Santa Ponsa Scene - Money Matters

You are advised to take a safe deposit box in your hotel or apartment block and just carry the necessary amount of money with you. You can change your travellers cheques or cash into euros at the reception of your hotel, apartment block, change bureaux or local banks. To change travellers cheques you'll need to show your passport for identification purposes. It is advisable to check that the amount of money you are given corresponds with the exchange rate offered - this changes daily. As a rough guide, the amount you have in euros is approximately one third more than the sterling equivalent. For example 6 euros is equal to about £4.

Most banks have cash machines which will accept your cash card from home. The instructions for use are normally in many languages.

For those people from the UK wishing to exchange sterling into Euros we recommend Marsur Agency on Calle Ramon de Moncada (next to The Dubliner). Paco has lived in Santa Ponsa for many years, speaks perfect English and offers a very good exchange rate.
