You should use a foreign exchange broker - I would recommend Thomas Exchange UK, they have 2 offices in central London and have been established for over 30 years, so you can deal with them in person or over the phone/internet.
Avoid transferring the Euros directly to your UK bank because you will be subject to your bank's terrible conversion rates and fees.
Thomas Exchange can accept payments from bank accounts abroad and convert them into Sterling for you and will then send the Sterling to your UK account. They can accept transfers in all major currencies including Euros, US Dollars, Australian Dollars, Swiss Francs, UAE Dirhams etc… I usually deal with Cath at their Maddox Street office.

As of the euro's introduction in 2002, the Spanish peseta was replaced at a fixed exchange rate of approximately 166.386 pesetas to 1 euro. Since the euro is currently valued against the US dollar, you would first convert 1000 pesetas to euros (about 6.01 euros) and then convert that amount to US dollars, which fluctuates based on current exchange rates. As of recent rates, 6.01 euros would be roughly equivalent to about 6.50 to 7.00 US dollars, but it's best to check the latest rates for accuracy.
depends where you are going. If the UK then sterling but if eurozone then euros! Euro travellers cheques are not easy to use though - have to exchange at banks who charge lots.
Yes, euros are accepted in the Netherlands, as it is one of the countries that uses the euro as its official currency.

It is not a question of some places accepting the Euro and some not, but more like in some places a higher proportion of businesses accept Euros than in other places. The currency of Switzerland is the Swiss frank (or franc), divided into 100 Rappen (or centimes). Switzerland is surrounded by countries which use the Euro. The Euro is accepted in many border areas and tourist areas in Switzerland. In general if you pay by Euros, you will be given change in Franks, and you will get an inferior exchange rate to that in banks or cash machines. The Euro is accepted by SBB (Swiss Federal Railways), all their ticket machines are programmed to accept either Franks or Euros. The two major supermarket chains, Cooperative and Migros, both accept Euros and the exchange rate is programmed into their tills. Other than that, it depends where you are. It is best to check before trying to pay in Euros.
As of my last knowledge update, the conversion between British pence and the euro is not fixed, as exchange rates fluctuate. However, you can calculate the value in euros by knowing that 1 euro is equivalent to 100 cents, and 1 pound is approximately 1.16 euros (as of late 2023). Therefore, to convert pence to euros, you would divide the number of pence by 100 and then multiply by the current exchange rate. For an accurate and up-to-date conversion, it's best to check a reliable financial news source or currency converter.

The best place to find what the foreign exchange rate between Euros and US dollars would be to call the US embassy. The Euro used to be worth less than the Dollar, but it has switched since the recession.
