Basically a high street bank will be very unlikely to be able to offer you a good exchange rate as they themselves contract this service out to Currency Exchange Specialists who do this for them. You should really cut out the middleman and go straight to them, as for this kind of sum they will both offer you an attractive rate and NOT charge a fee or commission like a bank will.
Be sure to check at your bank in Spain the cost of receiving your funds in Euros - your bank manager may negotiate on this so be sure to agree something in writing BEFORE you do the deal.
I did a similar transaction a number of years ago and made a number of problems in doing this, so you may want to take a quick look at my account of things on this blog, title “How NOT to buy a House and move to Spain” - Tumbit
