Money Exchange

Change your money in Benidorm and let Round Town Times tell you where.

The ‘hole in the wall’ and bank options are generally considered the safest but you may get a poor rate – especially with your card. So people often seek a better rate at an exchange booth but beware of banners displaying an overly attractive rate – its often a scam and customers are handed back a much lower rate. When you question it the cashier points to a tiny sign saying the attractive rate only applies if you change over a grand!

To avoid getting caught out, ask the cashier to WRITE DOWN the amount she will actually hand back to you in exchange for your money
