Is it worth transporting furniture from the UK to Spain or does the cost just not worth it. Thank you

You can get everything you want here but sometimes it takes weeks to arrive.  If you have special pieces of furniture you enjoy then bring it out but it may cost you at customs if you don't use the right transporter.

There is a very good furniture shop in the Arboleas Industrial area opposite the bowling alley.  Also on the road out to the main motorway.

We brought some stuff out, I transported it myself in the van. I did 2 road trips(transit sized van), but bought a lot of things in Spain. We bought bedding and soft furnishing at Sleep tight, a 3 piece suite at the furniture shop next door. Got all our chest drawers/units/tables at Indalocio. All in Albox.

Bring your favourite things.  A lot of Spanish furniture is not the same quality or style as U K.  It will also easily sell in Spain if it does not fit. Furniture here is expensive for what it is.  There are a few good shops already mentioned in the posts above.
