Currency Card for Euros

Hi
I currently have the FairFX Sterling Prepaid card which charges 1.5% commission on any transaction I make at ATM or Retail.
Going on holiday in April to Spain and trying to work out if this will still be the best one to use. Will load approx £500 on it so will have approx £490.00 to spend with the commission being applied to the transactions.
I have also seen another card Caxtonfxcard.com which don't charge fees but I think they have the MasterCard interchange (conversion) fee.
What are people's opinions in best card to use?

If you get the caxton euro card you won't be charged any fee, you will get the rate at the time you load it.0
