San Fermines 2023 in Pamplona

Like every year thousands get together in Pamplona to celebrate the San Fer

Like every year, July 7th has a special meaning in Spain. Is the date when the San Fermines start. And maybe some of you don’t know what that is, but I think if I say running of the bulls everyone will catch up. Yeah, this old tradition from the north of Spain is back another year. Pamplona welcomes people from all over the world to enjoy these festivities.

Everyone has the image of the bulls running down the streets and hundreds if not thousands running in front of them. This year it will happen again. But like every tradition must have a start.
July 6th it’s the famous day of the Chupinazo, that’s how is call the firework that start the one-week Pamplona´s traditional celebrations. Thousands get together on the town´s square to just shout and sing together to Saint Fermin and to start the celebrations.

But this week is not just about the bulls. Every morning we have those runs but after the whole city of Pamplona celebrates together with concerts, meetings, and all kinds of activities for the whole family.

As we know, and see on tv every year, this tradition unites people from all over the world, and that´s something Eurochange is good at it. We welcome everyone to Pamplona and to those festivities, but also we offer our office in Pamplona to exchange your currencies into euros. Australian dollar? No problem, US dollar?

Malaga: UK most wanted

Acording to internet searches, Malaga is top 1 destination for the british

When you think about British tourist and Spain, our mind go straight to Benidorm or Mallorca, but there is a place with more tourism from the UK in Spain… Malaga

Based on internet searches, Malaga is the number 1 destination for the British tourist. Cities like Venetia or San Francisco are 2 and 3 on that ranking, and we are going to tell you why.

First of all, as always, the Spanish sun. Malaga is the capital of names Sun Coast (costa del sol). The weather is good all the year around and even during the winter the climate is one of the reasons this part of Spain is special.

Another important reason is the proximity, which is straightly related to number of flights and price. Flying from London to Malaga can be as cheap as a couple of pints, if you do your research, you can fly as cheap as 15 to 20 pounds. Also, there are plenty flights every day to choose from. And what about traveling time? Just 3 hours, it probably takes as much time as going from north to south London.

And finally, the places. Yeah, I mean places, because when you fly to Malaga you don’t need to stay in Malaga city. There are a lot beautiful towns around as Marbella, Fuengirola or Benalmadena. Each one with its own charm and with a lot to offer.

Maybe I’m bias, but personally, I think another reason the British come to Malaga it is because we have plenty Eurochange offices with amazing rates to exchange pounds to euros. If you are one of those visitors coming to Malaga this summer make sure you check our exchange offices in Malaga, Fuengirola, Benalmadena and Puerto Banus. We will give you an amazing exchange rate pound to euros, and we will give you the best customer service you can imagine. So remember us, Eurochange, to exchange pounds to euros or any other currency this summer.

Valencia: Les Arts Festival

Valencia festival les Arts and where to exchange money with Eurochange in

This weekend sounds like the perfect weekend to go to the valencian capital to the east of Spain. Anytime is good to go visit this marvelous city, but this weekend The Art´s Festival will take place.

The arts Festival, or festival de les arts in the native valencian language, is a time of celebration, but not just music. Located at the famous City of Art and Sciences, since 2015 this festival had some of the most important bands playing and a great cultural offer.

The initial idea for this festival was to bring together music and the rest of art disciplines during a really arty weekend. With time, this festival became one of the most important music festivals in the Spanish tour and each year it grows in order to bring this festival to the people.

This festival has three stages, and one of them is placed… above water! But as we said is not all about music. At the core of the festival, you can find a common space called the cultural zone, where there will be plenty demonstrations of urban arts, even skaters shows.

But is not all about party and arts, it’s a great time for the whole family and to show that there are children’s areas for the smallest ones on the family and even a relax area where people can chill laying down in amazing hammocks.

The festival brings people to Valencia from all around the world to enjoy this enchanted weekend, the good weather of the Spanish east coast, and it´s famous hospitality creates the perfect combo to bring all cultures together.

And yes, you thinking it right, we have a money exchange office in Valencia.

Picasso and the Euros

Two strange coins with Pablo Picasso as their main theme

We know a lot about Pablo Picasso, his life and his work. But there is not much relationship between the artist and currencies… or there is?

You will be surprised to know that there are limited edition euro coins related to the artist and, even there is not much information available about them, we are going to share with you what we could find out about this amazing discovery

Guernica Square Gold Coin

An square coin? Yes, but not only square, but also made out of gold and with a 50-euro value. Thats the face value, but the real value of this coin is much much higher. We could not find out much about this coin, just that it was made on France, there are around 1.500 of them and that it has its own silver version with a face value of 10 euros.

On one side we can see the Guernica painting, one of the most famous of Picasso´s painting if not the most. On the other side we can see a mix of some famous French museums. The really strange square gold coin can be bought online for around 1000 euros.

Pablo Picasso in the Twenty-first Century

Another curious coin is the silver 10-euro coin with the portrait of Pablo Picasso in the Twenty-first Century in one of the sides. This coin is part of a collection issued in Spain the work of another of the greatest Spanish artist, Salvador Dalí.
In this case, this coin is not as strange or valuable as the previous one, but still more valuable than the face value of 10 euros, it can be found online for around 50 euros.

At Eurochange we decided to keep involving Pablo Picasso with currencies, in our case by opening a new office next to his former house in Malaga. Soon, really soon, we will be opening our latest office located at the Merced Square just a few meters away from Pablo Picasso´s house. We won’t be able to sell or buy the special edition coins we talked about today, but we will offer you all kinds of currencies from all over the world and not just offer them to you, but also buy them from you with amazing exchange rates.

So, stay tuned to our blog to see when we are actually open and come visit us, exchanging currency and visiting Pablo Picasso´s house sounds like a plan for me, what about u?

Discovering … Ciudad Quesada

A brief look to Ciudad Quesada and what it has to offer.

Ciudad Quesada it is an urbanized area located within the municipality of Rojales, in the south of the county of Alicante. Most of the population is foreigners aged between 40 and 70 years, therefore, civic and little noisy. It is the perfect place to disconnect and find the tranquility you are looking for. Its weather, warm all year round, with an average of 18ºC, attracts people to come on vacation and relax, especially from the north of the country and northern Europe and encourages them to finally spend most of the year here, getting their own home in Ciudad Quesada.

Since its birth back in the 70s the urbanization popularity has been growing to become one of the preferred alternatives for those who want to enjoy the Mediterranean coast. Nowadays there is a whole expat community who enjoy a quiet life and a great weather almost all year round, two of the main reasons why Ciudad Quesada has become what it is today. Ciudad Quesada has something for everyone.
But all this is fine information about the urbanized area but we need to get to the point… What to do in Ciudad Quesada?

For this reason, the Costa Blanca has become one of the best Europa destinations to play this sport. So, if you like playing golf I can promise you will love this area.

Enjoy the Waterpark
