Best bet, use your cash card at ATM spanish banks.
But, beware of card ATM scams!!

Definitely use an ATM. If you look at most banks' rates, there is a spread of about 10% (ie difference between buying and selling).
If you use an ATM it will be about half that. You will be charged a fee for using your debit card abroad, but if you make infrequent larger withdrawal amounts, you will save a lot of money.
See to use your credit card where possible in shops/restaurants and debit card in ATM

Get them at a bank or travel agency before you go. If you use your card abroad to draw cash out you generally pay quite high fees. Marks and Spencers have good rates or ask at Thomas Cook for their deal rate on amounts over £500

Yeah, but just withdrawing them from a cashpoint. Most banks only charge about £2 per transaction,

Use an ATM, check the conditions of possible charges whilst overseas.

You may get slightly more at a cash machine but please remember that currency of any description soon vanishes on holiday. Have a great holiday!
