Look for Oanda and their FX Global Transfer product in particular.  If you have bank accounts in both countries i.e. UK and Spain then it is very easy to transfer the money on-line yourself, which will be done at the Spot rate.  They charge a flat fee of $25 for each transaction, no matter how big or small.  The price / spread used is the underlying market price / spread, rather than the one used by your bank, currency shop etc. So you are basically getting the exchange rate that your bank gets, before they add their own spread on top.

I've used them for the past year or so and they are great. And don't worry, I don't work for them!!

It appears the development was halted by the courts while an investigation into money laundering was conducted ("Operation Turron" if you want to Google it) and this is the reason the developers give for breaching the contract, and the development is now under judicial administration meaning the courts are over-seeing it.  Exactly how long it was legally halted for and whether this justfies the extremely long delay is now the question we are trying to get answers too, as well as a new completion date / contract.  So far neither the developers, nor the courts are responding to requests from our lawyer to provide these, and our lawyer has now told us there is nothing more he can do and we will probably have to take them to court, but he isn't prepared to help us on this.  So we're off to find another lawyer now who will hopefully not be as willing to give up!!

Anyone else go anywhere with their lawyer?
