How does the TRY to EUR currency exchange work?
To know how foreign exchange works, think of a retail store that sells a product to you as a consumer. The supplier acquires goods from a provider called a wholesaler at a purchase price, to which it sums up a profit margin.
The gap between the final price at which the consumer buys in that shop (eg your Turkey liras) and what it cost the business to get those Turkey liras is the profit it obtains in that currency exchange.
But there is a difference in currency exchange with other businesses. In principle, foreign currency notes (Turkey liras in this case) pass on from hand to hand, that is, they are not consumed.
Consequently, it may be the case that a currency provider or a bank acquires Turkey liras from a tourist who enters Spain (gaining a profit) and those same Turkey liras become yours when you buy that currency (new profit margin).
