At the moment Yahoo are showing just over 1.40 therefore in the street in Gibraltar ( not Spain ) I would expect to get 1.38+

Most I know use their card (not credit card) as some nowadays give very good rates with very little commission (Halifax have a card with no charges)
No need to carry money around so it could be safer & if you go this route always select Euros & not GBP on the screen.

Use an ATM and run the risk of the card being read ? I prefer a pocket full of cash !

Yes. That is safer ! I would be very wary of using an ATM in the street - ANYWHERE. These Lebanese Scanners are everywhere now. That is the "racist" name given to the photography devices clipped onto an ATM.
