By dry stone walling, do you mean the massive rock type wall typical to Spain or a dry stone wall as you'd see in UK?
I've just had some walling done after the torrential rain a couple of weeks ago undermined the foundations and collapsed an boundary wall. I could ask my builder for details as he got the guy in to do it.

Hi Penny
The builder is Juan Martinez. He doesn't speak a lot of English and my Spanish isn't up to much so Louie from Almeria Home sorted it out for me. You can get him on +34 666 97 92 56

I don't know the exact costs as it was done by a contractor that Juan arranged and part of some rectification work and other work. I do know it wasn't cheap. Big excavator delivered to site on a low loader, all the ground cleared and readied for the big stones which were delivery by truck on a couple of occasions. Took them 2 full days. I'm guessing at around 6000 euro for approx 15m about 1.5m high.

Give Louie a call, he'll be happy to arrange to get Juan there. He's very reliable and won't rip you off.
