I am in town later and will see what is being offered for those foolish enough to bring £ to Portugal.

Pound has taken a wee hit last couple of days ... down from almost 1.14 to almost 1.13. Remember you are always better with a euro card ... or buying from likes of Ramsdens online, pick up on high street ... they`re at just over 1.11.

Pound has perked up a wee bit, officially 1.135 this morning and Ramsdens are on 1.116 .. so I am down 5 euros on the trade I did earlier this week.

 Gloom, doom! My UK pension comes here direct, translated into Euros. Today's payment is the lowest I have received since June 2021 and a good €30 less per month than I was getting last summer. That's a whole evening's beer lost.

Yes it never pays to accept to accept the Multibanco ATM rate, it is usually a 10% commission for the ATM operators. So you lose 10€ in every 100€ you change.
Definitely don't use the ATM Euronet machines as these have a fixed 3.99€ fee on top which makes withdrawals very expensive.

TUI high street today gave me 1.10, Althams was offering 1.11 but really couldn’t be bothered with the big que!
Travelling to Rome on Monday and needed a bit of cash, if I’m lucky enough to have some left it will spend in my favourite bar in March in Albufeira. In other news the dollar rate is rubbish! Which doesn’t help me for February!

Pound at 1.1278 today ... checking because the Multibanco atm at Intermarche Cemeterio Velho offered me 1 euro for 0.99p and the Paladim hotel I am in is giving 1.02 ... surprisingly, refusing the atm trade got me 1.13 .. and with the Halifax fee I have net 1.10. Worth noting that Ramsdens in the UK, buy on line, pick up in store are also at 1.10. .. as are Tesco.

That's a bit mean! The commercial rate is nearer 1.15.
