Guide to Money Exchange on the Costa del Sol: From Malaga to Estepona

Exchange your currency today at Eurochange and travel with peace of mind.

Planning a getaway to the sun-drenched shores of Southern Spain? While the beaches are free, the best tapas, local markets, and Mediterranean experiences often require cash. For British tourists and international travelers, finding a reliable money exchange is the secret to a stress-free holiday. In this guide, we’ll show you how to get the best value for your Pounds (GBP) using Eurochange’s extensive physical network, ensuring you have Euros ready for every moment.

 

Discovering the Costa del Sol

From the historic center of Malaga to the flower-filled streets of Estepona, the coast offers a variety of experiences. For British tourists, the key is knowing where to get the most Euros for their Pounds (GBP). Our branches are strategically located in the most popular hubs: Torremolinos, Fuengirola, and the residential heart of Mijas Costa.

Why Cash is Still King

While digital payments are common, cash is essential for:

  • The Best Tapas: Many authentic beach bars (chiringuitos) prefer cash for small orders.

  • No Hidden Fees: Using a UK card at a Spanish ATM can lead to high “dynamic conversion” fees.

  • Safety & Control: Keeping a set amount of cash helps you manage your holiday budget effectively.

Why Choose Eurochange Over Airport Booths?

Airport exchange rates are notoriously poor. By choosing a specialized casa de cambio like Eurochange once you reach your destination, you benefit from:

  • Professional Rates: We monitor the market to offer competitive GBP to EUR rates.

  • Local Expertise: Our staff in Calahonda and Cala de Mijas understand the needs of the expat and tourist community.

  • Convenience: Over 50 branches in Spain, with a heavy presence across the Costa del Sol.
