Steve,

I was just wondering whether you would advise changing my money over in arinsal (if the bank does foreign exchange), or whether you'd advise changing before I come out. The exchange rate is awful here, like everywhere else, and someone I know said it can sometimes pay to carry sterling out and change once abroad.

Cheers,

Andy

Sorry for more questions for Steve,

Do we need a passport photo for the lift passes, and is there a deposit as they are chipped ones.

Thanks

Not sure about the cash, but if you use a credit card the exchange rate is usally better than the rate the banks use for cash currency. just check there is no charge for using cr card abroad. I think Post Office and nationwide are free to use abroad.

I did not have to pay a deposit for the pass this year. last year it was 3 euros. The cards are not chipped they have smooth edges

photos are NOT needed.
