This establishment situated on Avenida De Martinez Alejos Benidorm
Clearly states 1.60 euros in exchange for £1 sterling No Commission so how come when
you change £100 you get 1.35 Euros?
They forgot to tell you about the 15% service charge - in very small print at the
very bottom of the sign ( The Orange one). Tell the lady you do not wish to proceed
with the transaction and she points to another small sign ‘No Refunds’
These ‘shops’ are situated all over Benidorm, once you have ended a transaction there
is nothing you can do. The police can do nothing.
Warning

Warning
Watch out for the gangs known as ‘The Pea Men’ they operate around the main streets and beach area with a cardboard box set up as a table and three shells or potatoes, and using a very cleaver slight of hand they will have your money. They also have pick pockets in the crowd. The gang can have has many as 20 in them, police lookouts on corners etc, and other members pretending to be playing the game to rope you in.
Just avoid them, don’t even stop to look.
