Discover the most beautiful towns on the Levantine Coast and where we have

The Levante Coast located in the east of Spain, from the northernmost point of the Valencian Community to Almería. This coastline is undoubtedly one of the areas that attracts the most British tourists from all over the country, thanks to the calm waters of the Mediterranean, its ideal climate, and its extensive beaches of golden sand. It also has many beautiful towns, natural parks and cities full of culture and history. Are you looking for a romantic destination, a family vacation or the ideal place for a trip with your best friends? The Levante Coast has it all. Here we leave you a list of the best places that you will never forget.

1. VALENCIA

Valencia has all kinds of cultural and leisure activities. You cannot miss its famous Cathedral or the City of Arts and Sciences, a modern architectural and cultural complex that in 2007 was one of the winners of the 12 Treasures of Spain contest. The city has some huge urban beaches, we recommend Playa de la Patacona, which is not usually as busy as others in Valencia. 10 km south of the city you will find the Albufera Natural Park, a coastal lagoon where you can take boat trips and enjoy nature.

Coming soon, in June, you will have our new Eurochange Valencia exchange office available, located in an unbeatable area, in the heart of Plaza de la Virgen, in the center of the city, where you can change your pounds into euros or any currency you need.

2. ALICANTE

After Valencia, the best known city on the Levante coast is Alicante. It has much more than beaches, like museums and an old town full of life. You don't have to choose between city or beach, because Alicante has the best of both. In Alicante, on calle Castaños 6, you will find Eurochange Alicante, where you can change your currencies into euros or buy the currencies you need for your trip.

One of the most picturesque towns in the province is Villajoyosa, a labyrinth of narrow streets with multicolored facades. The historic town has Roman ruins and medieval walls, and the Faro de La Vila is the perfect place to watch at sunset.

If what you are looking for is partying and fun, do not hesitate to visit Benidorm, known for its beaches and its endless nights. In Benidorm you will find amusement parks such as Terra Mítica and Aqualandia.

3. JÁVEA

One of the most famous beaches in Spain, La Granadella, is located in Jávea (or Xàbia), for those seeking a feeling of exclusivity in one of the treasures of the Valencian coast. Jávea has virgin corners, excellent gastronomy, and 15 viewpoints such as Els Molins or Punta del Castell, where you can enjoy the wonderful landscapes. In Playa del Arenal, the largest in the town, you will find, apart from endless bars and restaurants where you can enjoy the best gastronomy in the area, Eurochange Jávea, to change your foreign currencies into euros.

Altea is characterized by its narrow streets with whitewashed house facades that descend towards beautiful beaches. It is mandatory for sea lovers to snorkel and do water sports in its calm and crystal clear waters. Altea has just over 20,000 inhabitants but this town does not lack charm and beauty. Take a few excursions to the viewpoints of Portal Viejo or Santa Bárbara and the route of the hermitages, or get lost in its old town.

5. MURCIA

In the southernmost part of the Costa de Levante we find Murcia, whose coastline is known as the Costa Cálida thanks to its warm waters and the sun that shines more than 3,000 hours a year. The salty lagoon of the Mar Menor has a destination in which to rest and enjoy the sea and water activities. The coast has numerous virgin spaces, beaches such as San Pedro del Pintar and Cartagena, and curious landscapes such as the erosion of Mazarrón. About 5 kilometers northwest of the university city of Murcia is the Castillo de Monteagudo, on an impressive rocky outcrop that rises 149 m above sea level. In addition, the incredible Laguna Rosa in the Parque Natural de las Lagunas de la Mata y de Torrevieja, as its name indicates, is a pink lagoon that you have to see to believe.

In the Region of Murcia you can find Eurochange in Cartagena, Mazarrón, Puerto de Mazarrón and Los Alcázares, where you can exchange your currencies.

6. MOJÁCAR

Mojácar is located 90 kilometers from Almería capital to the north, it is located at the end of Sierra Cabrera and borders Carboneras to the south and Garrucha to the north. This population, since 2013, is included in the network of Most Beautiful Towns in Spain, and the labyrinth of streets of white houses, reminiscent of Mudejar architecture, is one of the essential visits to the province.

3. DUBAI MALL

A mall may not seem like the best place to spend your vacation, but believe us, the Dubai Mall is so spectacular that it deserves a visit. The Dubai Mall is the largest shopping, entertainment and leisure destination on the planet and is located next to the Burj Khalifa building. Its more than 1,200 shops, two department stores and hundreds of food and drink outlets are spread over more than 1 million square meters (an area equivalent to 200 football fields).

4. DEIRA

Before oil was discovered, Dubai extended on both sides of the creek, a natural estuary that enters the city for about 10 kilometers and separates the Deira and Bur Dubai neighborhoods, its oldest neighborhoods, which will remind you of the origins of this city and its commercial past. Among the most outstanding places to visit in Dubai and that are in the Deira area, are the popular perfume, spice and gold souks, the latter famous for its windows full of gold items such as the one shown by the ring biggest in the world.

Other points of interest in this neighborhood are the Al Ahmadiya (Dubai's first school) and the Heritage House, a historic and traditional house that belonged to a wealthy pearl merchant.

5. BURJ AL ARAB

The Burj Al-Arab is the tallest hotel in the world, at 321 meters high. Its design is reminiscent of the sail of the dhow, the typical Arab ship. Furthermore, it has a 7-star rating and is therefore also the most luxurious. It is located on its own artificial island, to visit its interior with a spectacular hall and full of luxurious shops, you have to be staying, paying 1500 euros per night, or have a reservation at one of its restaurants or bars and in this case, the most cheap is to book at the Skyview Bar, located 200 meters high, where a minimum consumption of about 70 euros is required.

6. THE HISTORICAL AL FAHIDI NEIGHBORHOOD

Dubai is not only modern, the most traditional part of the city is beautiful and, if you have not been to any other country in the Persian Gulf, you will be very surprised. This neighborhood was built at the end of the 19th century and Persian merchants who traded in pearls and fabrics lived there. They had money and moved to Dubai because there were no taxes and they had access to Dubai Creek, the hub of commerce in the area. The Arabic-style plaster and coral buildings are perfectly preserved and it is a pleasure to walk through its narrow streets. You can enter most of the houses, which today are home to ceramic and furniture galleries. There are also some small museums dedicated to the country's coins, for example, and the XVA Gallery for contemporary art.

7. JUMERIRAH MOSQUE

The Jumeirah Mosque is the only one in the city that accepts non-Muslim visitors.

This religious building is built of white stone, with twin minarets rising on either side of the central dome, and the only way to get to know it is by taking a guided interior tour. Keep in mind that it is not possible to access in shorts and women must cover their hair with a scarf.

In addition to its beautiful architecture, this mosque offers a good opportunity to learn about Muslim religion and customs during the hour and a half that the visit lasts.

After the visit you can take a walk by the sea at La Mer, a long promenade with several beaches and the Laguna Waterpark.

The official currency in the United Arab Emirates is the AED, the United Arab Emirates Dirham.

It is important to keep in mind that in order to make cash payments in Dubai, it is mandatory to use the official currency. It is possible to make payments in euros or another popular currency such as the dollar; however, the change for the tourist will not be at all favorable. So if you make a trip to Dubai, the most convenient thing is to exchange currency in the country of origin. This cash will be very useful for the payment of transfers and tips.

At Eurochange we make it easy for you, go to our website, make a reservation to pick up at the store, you will not pay anything in advance and you will secure your currency for your holidays.

Sweden: What is the best time to visit it and where to buy Swedish krona in Spain

We suggest the best times to visit the different tourist places in Sweden a

When we plan a trip to northern Europe, the first thing we usually think about is the weather, sometimes it can be a bit confusing, so if you are not sure when to travel to Sweden, depending on which areas you want to visit or what is you don't want to miss out, take note of our tips.

NORTHERN LIGHTS

One of the biggest attractions of the country is the possibility of encountering this atmospheric phenomenon that we know as the Northern Lights. The night is dyed in green, yellow and purple colors, it is an unrepeatable experience. From Swedish Lapland is where you can best see these phenomena. The best time to see them is in winter in the months of December and January.

MIDNIGHT SUN

The so-called midnight sun is a period of 24 hours of uninterrupted sunlight that only occurs in the Arctic Circle in the summer. Kiruna is the best destination to contemplate this phenomenon.

MIDSOMMAR

The Midsommar celebration in Sweden or the summer solstice party, is a tradition that the Swedes live as intensely or more intensely than the National Day. It is celebrated on the Friday before the day of San Juan. According to tradition, women dress in regional costumes. The children go out to look for flowers in the fields and the girls and women adorn their hair with these flowers, making crowns that symbolize good luck.

DJURGARDEN ISLAND

Djurgården is located near the center of Stockholm, is known to Holmians as “Ekoparken” and is the first European National Park within a city. Only 800 people and animals such as brown bears, wolves and reindeer reside in this natural area, close to the city center.

Spring is the best time to visit this island, which opens its zoo and open-air museum to the public during the warmer months.

LISEBERG AMUSEMENT PARK

Liseberg Amusement Park in Gothenburg is open from approximately May to August. It is the largest of the Nordic countries and has entertainment for all ages. From towering roller coasters and free falls, to harmless merry-go-rounds.

THE CASTLE OF MALMÖ

Stockholm is the capital of the country. If you are wondering when to travel to Sweden to walk its streets, the answer is to take advantage of spring and summer. Winter can be very harsh and daylight hours are minimal. Attractions such as the Malmö Castle, or the ascent to the viewpoints need light to be able to contemplate the beauty of the city.

NAVIGATE THE GOTÄ CANAL

The best time to tour the Gotä Canal is in the summer. The Gotä Canal is located in the south of the country and offers a unique opportunity for a cruise to discover the landscapes and architecture of the area. Mills, meadows and a lot of peace is what you can expect, along with some great sunsets. You can also choose to enter the fjords by boat. A completely different experience essential.

UPPSALA

Uppsala is a beautiful city with a great university atmosphere. The ideal time to visit depends on your intentions. If you want to enjoy its architectural attractions, such as the castle or the cathedral, choose the summer. If, on the other hand, you prefer to party, the school year will give you the best dates.

WHERE TO BUY SWEDISH KRONA IN SPAIN

The Swedish krona is the official currency of Sweden. Although in some places they will give you the option to pay in euros, we do not recommend this option since they will apply an exchange rate that is beneficial for the business but worse for you.

You can get the Swedish krona at banks, airports or at EUROCHANGE.

At EUROCHANGE we have the best prices on the market, without commissions or hidden expenses. You can make a reservation through our website or come directly to any office in our network with a currency sales service and make the purchase. We do not have minimums and in the case of not having stock, in 24 hours you would have the currency without paying in advance. Call us at the Customer Service Center 615403877 and our operators will advise you on how much money to change or any questions you may have.

Bon voyage!!!

Plans to do in London in May and where to change from euros to pounds

We propose some plans to make your getaway to London and where to change fr

May is the month of flowers, the days are super long and the weather is very pleasant. Visiting London in May is ideal for making plans outside.

1. ENJOY THE FLOWER FESTIVAL IN CHELSEA

The RHS Chelsea Flower Show is the world's most prestigious flower show and takes place in London in May. These days, the Royal Chelsea Hospital becomes an ephemeral art museum where international landscape architects use flowers and greenery from across the UK to fashion their works.

If this exhibition is out of your budget, you have a free plan B. Be sure to take a walk through the streets of Chelsea, one of the most elegant neighborhoods in London, and enjoy Chelsea in Bloom.

It is an alternative floral art show where local shops, restaurants and hotels compete by adorning their entrances with the most creative themed floral designs.

2. SAIL BY BOAT ON THE THAMES IN LONDON

Going by boat in London is one of the experiences that we most recommend. The boat trip on the Thames in London allows you to enjoy a bit of relaxation (which is appreciated in a city as busy as this) while you get to know the main monuments of the city from a different perspective.

Most cruises in London usually have an open-air room and another acclimatized for cold days, but the best thing is that they also have a bar/cafeteria where you can have a warm coffee or a beer.

3. PARTICIPATE IN THE LITTLE VENICE FESTIVAL

The bridge of the first weekend of May (early May bank holiday), the canals of Little Venice are flooded with colors. The Inland Waterways Association hosts the annual Boat Gathering where more than 100 boats moor along the Grand Union Canal between Blomfield Road, Warwick Avenue and Warwick Crescent to participate decked out in this cavalcade.

Lots of fun awaits you here, dancers, street food stalls, Ale taps, craft stalls, live music and children's activities.

4. GET TO KNOW LONDON IN SPANISH WITH THE AVAILABLE FREE TOURS

Put on comfortable shoes and join a free walking tour in London. They are the best way to get to know the city. Free tours are guided walking routes without a stipulated price. It is you who will have the freedom to voluntarily assess the work of the guide once you have already known his work. They are based on the idea of why pay for something before knowing it if I don't know if I am going to like it or not?

5. SEE LONDON FROM THE HEIGHTS

Any time of the year is good to see London from above. Our advice is that, if you can, do it at sunset. If you are lucky and the day is sunny, you will see how the sunlight draws pink strokes on the clouds in the sky and dyes the buildings in ocher and gold tones, with pronounced shadows that will make your photos spectacular.

6. ENJOY THE OUTDOOR THEATER

In May, the season of London's Regent's Park Open Air Theater begins. This is a great opportunity to see an outdoor play in Regents Park, one of the most beautiful parks in London, making it a unique experience.

If you really like the theater, don't forget that London is the home of the West End, the neighborhood with the highest number of theaters per square meter in all of Europe. The best plays and musicals are here. The Phantom of the Opera, the Lion King, Les Miserables…

Well, as you can see, you have many activities available to do in London if you travel this spring, all you have to do is pack your suitcase and enjoy your getaway.

Remember that in London you cannot pay with euros, the currency in circulation there is the pound sterling.

It is time to get to know the largest island in the world, it is one of the places with the highest quality of life.

SYDNEY AND MELBOURNE

Sydney is one of the large cities with the best quality of life in the world thanks to its good services, magnificent climate, economic level and urban model in which the large number of parks and green areas that are found both in the center (Chinese Garden de la Amistad, Hyde Park, The Domain and the Royal Botanic Garden) and on the outskirts of the city (Royal National Park).

Melbourne is the capital and main city of the state of Victoria, one of the jewels of Australia.

One of the main economic, sports, artistic and cultural centers of the country, it also has two of the most prestigious universities in the world. It was the capital of Australia between 1901 and 1927, before it was decided to move the seat of government to Canberra. This city also hosts the Formula 1 World Championship Grand Prix. It is also the venue for the Australian Open and the Motorcycle Grand Prix, which is held on Phillip Island.

THE GREAT CORAL BARRIER

Impossible to overlook the largest reef network on the planet, which is one of the seven wonders of the natural world. The Great Barrier Reef, Australia's greatest pride, hides millions of years in its 2,300 kilometers of underwater beauty. For something it often sneaks into the top positions of the places you have to visit at least once in your life. Nobody who visits this country can leave without having dived, in any of its points, in this colorful and psychedelic universe.

THE GREAT OCEAN ROAD

This legendary route on the south coast, in the state of Victoria, is listed as the most beautiful road in the world. Nothing surprising, since some of the most photographed prodigies in Australia pass through it. Infinite beaches dotted with surfers, imposing cliffs, charming towns, shipwrecks, eucalyptus forests where koalas doze, kangaroos that greet each other on the road… and the mythical Twelve Apostles with their unique profile.

ULURU-KATA TJUTA NATIONAL PARK

It is the paradigmatic image of the antipodes. A desolate territory, alien to the rest of the world, which covers more than 1,300 km2 and has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1987. Here is the magnificent rock formation called Uluru, revered by aboriginal tribes since time immemorial. A fascinating place, full of stories, myths and legends.

TASMANIA

Although it has passed into the popular imagination due to the famous demon popularized by Warner, this island that hangs to the south of the Australian continent is one of the jewels that should not be missed. A graceful place with no less than fifteen natural parks dotted with beaches, lakes and river forests, which enclose an overwhelming variety and beauty.

One of the most important things to know before traveling to Australia is that the currency in circulation there is the Australian dollar AUD. At EUROCHANGE we have this currency for both sale and purchase, you can go to our website and make a reservation for the store pick-up for the day you need it, always at the best price, with no minimums, no commissions and without paying for in advance or you can come to any office in our network with a foreign exchange service and you can buy your Australian dollars and enjoy your trip.

Visit to the Historic Center of Zaragoza and where to exchange currency

Tour and history of the Historic Center of Zaragoza and currency exchange

Zaragoza has ceased to be a passing city, to become a city visited and admired by travelers and tourists, who are surprised to discover a place with multiple attractions of art, gastronomy, history and a lot of life.

The Historic Quarter or "Old Town", as it is popularly known, is not only the network of streets near the Basilica del Pilar, but also includes the urban space delimited by the medieval fence, and which is currently surrounded by the Coso street. The city had twelve gates that adorned the city with its walls. Today only the door of Carmen remains.

The following neighborhoods are housed inside: El Gancho, San Miguel, Tenerías and La Magdalena.

The Decumano was a main road in Roman times and is the origin of Don Jaime I Street. In the 19th century, Alfonso Street was built to give access to El Pilar.

Interculturality is a characteristic of the population that resides in the Old Town.

Walking through the streets of the historic center is to travel back in time to other times and discover that in many corners time seems to have stopped. We enter small squares and narrow streets that show us the essence of Zaragoza: El Pilar, Goya, the Roman past and the friendliness of its people.

And in the narrowness of its streets we also find small shops with their particular charm, restaurants and tapas bars where we can taste the lamb, products from the garden or a good glass of wine.

You can not stop walking these streets to discover in its stones the traces of the civilizations that have occupied it: Roman, Muslim, Jewish or Christian. And listen to its people, who will tell you beautiful memories like the one from the New Tower. A tower located in the Plaza de San Felipe, 80 meters high and which was used to notify the newly created Fire Department of the neighborhood in which a fire was taking place due to the number of chimes:

A chime, when it happened in the Seo neighborhood

Four chimes, if it was in the neighborhood of San Miguel

Eleven chimes indicated that the fire was located in Santa Engracia.

In 1883 the tower was destroyed due to the risk of falling.

How to save money in London?

We tell you the best tricks that most tourists do not know to save on your

If you are planning a trip to London and you are looking for tips to save during your stay, in this article we tell you the best tricks that most tourists do not know and that aim to lower costs on their London holidays.

According to statistics, London is one of the most expensive destinations in Europe. The most expensive thing about London is transport, food and shopping.

1. SAVE MONEY ON TRANSPORTATION

To save on transportation for the transfer from the airport to the city you have to buy the ticket well in advance. A normal train ticket from Stansed to London that is purchased in advance saves more than 65% and the same happens from other airports.

The subway is another transport in which you can save money, instead of buying a single ticket, it is best to get the Oyster Card, with which the trips will cost you less.

Unless you have to move from one end of the city to another we recommend that instead of the metro you use the bus, if you have to do little travel it will be cheaper and it will take less time to reach your destination.

2. EATING CHEAP IN LONDON

In London there are many supermarkets such as Asda, Tesco or Sansbury that are extremely cheap and where you can find a wide variety of products at low prices. In these supermarkets you will find the "Meal Deal", they consist of a sadwich, a drink and a snack or dessert to choose from and all this at a price of between 3 and 4 pounds. These "Meal Deal" are ideal for food.

If, on the other hand, you prefer to go out to lunch or dinner at restaurants and you are going to drink water, we recommend you to order the "Tap water", basically it consists of tap water and they will serve it with lemon slices and of course it is free.

One way to eat rich and cheap is to eat at the flea markets. Among the most recommended markets for cheap dining are Brixton, Brick Lane and Broadway Market.

3. SAVE WHEN YOU GO SHOPPING

If you travel to London you will surely be wanting to go shopping, here you can also save money and we tell you how to do it. First of all you must be attentive to the sales and discounts. Unlike here, which we have twice a year, in London there are also mid-season sales and sometimes you can find real bargains. We recommend you not to use the main shopping streets such as Oxford Street or Canarby Street to do your shopping as they are the most expensive areas. We recommend that you visit East End, in this shopping area you will find the same products but at half price. There are also stores called "Charity Shops" that are charity shops where you will find all kinds of clothes and second-hand objects, there are garments for 1, 2 or 3 pounds.

Finally, as always, we recommend that before traveling you take the currency from here, that is, that you change your euros to pounds in EUROCHANGE enter our website and make the reservation for the collection in store or come to any store with currency sales service of our network and take your pounds at the best price and without surprises. And for changes over 750 euros we offer you the repurchase service. Call us at the Customer Service Center 615403877 and our operators will be happy to answer any questions.

5 best places to visit Madrid

If you are going to visit Madrid, write down this list with the five most s

As well as being a great European city, Madrid has its fair share of hustle and bustle, but that doesn't mean it skimps on giving visitors an authentic Spanish experience. The Prado Museum features works by some of Spain's most famous artists, including Velázquez and Goya. The Royal Palace is open to the public and the El Rastro market or the luxury shops of Salamanca offer hours of shopping. But if you're exhausted after a long day of sightseeing, you might want to rest in an outdoor cafe, especially the ones lining the Plaza Mayor. Once your energy is restored, enjoy trying some selected specialties in a tapas bar before heading to the nightclub. Remember that you can money exchange at our Eurochange Madrid exchange house in Plaza de San Miguel.

Plaza Mayor

This square, located in the heart of Madrid, is more a must-experience attraction than a must-see one. Surrounded by cafes and bars, Plaza Mayor practically begs passersby to take a seat, order a coffee or glass of wine (depending on the time of day) and people-watch. Not only do throngs of tourists pass through, but multiple street performers plant their feet here to entertain. The square starts getting busy around 2 p.m. and will grow increasingly busy as night falls. If you find yourself in Madrid during the holidays, locals recommend visiting the holiday markets held in the plaza.

El Retiro Park (Parque del Buen Retiro)

To the east of central Madrid, Parque del Buen Retiro (El Retiro Park) can be translated as "Park of the Pleasant Retreat," and that's what it is – a sprawling swath of lush greenery filled with formal gardens, lakes, cafes, playgrounds and more. This 300-some-acre park previously housed Felipe IV's palace and gardens, and didn't become open to the public until the late 19th century.

Prado Museum (Museo Nacional del Prado)

One of Madrid's most famous museums, the elegant Museo Nacional del Prado is consistently touted by travelers as a must-see. Opened in 1819 at the encouragement of Queen Maria Isabel de Braganza (King Ferdinand VII's wife), the museum contains 8,600 paintings and more than 700 sculptures, featuring Spanish, Italian and Flemish styles of art. Among the most famous works featured include Velazquez's "Las Meninas," Goya's "The Third of May 1808," El Greco's "Adoration of the Shepherds." Travelers note that sometimes it can be difficult to get close to these famous paintings, recommending that visitors come early or late for the best chance of seeing these works without hordes of others.

Gateway of the Sun (Puerta del Sol)

The true center of Madrid – kilometer zero – Puerta del Sol fills with spurting fountains, shops, restaurants and lots of people. If you're looking for a place to rest your feet after a long day of touring, or a quiet place to stay, Sol is not the place. The area is always crowded, especially at night when the city comes alive with people passing through the square looking to party at some of Madrid's hottest bars and nightclubs (many of which are situated in Sol). However, it is the best place to taste Madrid's life and vibrancy, so even if you're going out to dinner, don't pass up the opportunity to walk through and take in the area.

Mercado San Miguel

Mercado de San Miguel, a market built of beautifully ornate glass and cast iron, is a popular stop for tourists to Madrid, especially since it is located right outside of Plaza Mayor. Here, visitors can purchase some wine, grab a cocktail, juice or coffee, snack on a variety of ready-to-eat tapas, or pick up some ingredients for lunch or dinner from the fruit, seafood and meat stalls.
Here you can find our Eurochange Madrid office, a currency exchange house, in the same Market Square, where you can buy or sell your currencies, to be able to enjoy the rich gastronomy offered by the variety of food.
