Abbey zero credit card overseas purchase.

in Credit cards
Hi,
I have abbey zero credit card with 4400 Credit limit. I have balance transfered 3500 pounds of which into my A&L 8.5% account (£2450) and remainder to Bham Midshire saving ac.
I am going for Bull run to San Fermin, Spain next week. I want to use my abbey card overseas for purchases. Once I survive my bull run, I do not wish be mauled down by the interest over purchases when I am back.
Can somebody please suggest me how should I arrange my monthly repayments to avoid any interest. I did chat with CS, but your advice would be much more convincing to me.
Secondly do they offer good conversion rate when card used abroad ( my intuition is they might give poor conversion rate to cover up 0% foreign exchange fee).
I have got the usual 0% int for 6 mnths on BT, purchases etc.
