Hi,

I have seen many pre cast concrete Indalo Men in various gardens in our region, and I'm wondering where to buy one? For those that are unsure of what an Indalo man is, it's the man holding the arch over his head, the mascot of almeria. I'm also after a straw sun parasol like the ones you see at the beach resorts, not seen any for sale anywhere also and just wondering if anyone has seen any anywhere in our region?

Many thanks guys.

Neil.

You could start at any garden centre. If you can't buy one there, they'll point you in the right direction where to get one.

Hi,

I've been in every garden centre from Albox to Antas and they don't do them.

I've seen precast concrete yards that have them on their perimeter fences, but they are always as your travelling down the autovia and no junction to come off at. 

I will ask Antonio in Plant almanzora in Albox he may know.

Thanks Anyway.

Alfarería in Sorbas, Juan the owner makes them. Various sizes, in steel or clay mostly. Lots of other pottery there as well.

If you want the indalo man to bring you good luck, it has to be given to you as a gift...

Hi Bess,

It's not for luck, I just like the look of them, I come up smelling of roses all the time!

Hi do you know restaurant la Morena?  Is the next junction up from huercal Overa heading towards Murcia.  Situated in the petrol station.   If you park in there there is a yard that does concrete drainage pipe they also have indalo men.  If those are too big for your needs try the ceramic pot shop near the BP garage in Albox.  He has small ones but might be able to help source a large variety (need to speak about of Spanish tho').  Hope this helps K

Hi, thanks for the help, I've seen the concrete yard by the autovia, I will try there, I'm after one that stands about 2 to 3ft tall, as it will be placed in a rockery. I know where the pot shop is, Google translate will help me, many thanks!
