Hiya....enjoy your new adventure!!

We have found the undernoted very helpful

Aldesur in Arboleas - for general household items such as batteries, tools manual and power, extension leads, cutlery, plates, paint and equipment, wood for building not firewood, they have small selections of lighting, kitchen equipment, pet supplies etc etc...staff are very good, knowledgeable and are bilingual.

You can also use Amazon. If you are not in the campo you'll likely get delivery straight to your address...if you are then there are a few post box shops who will for a fee take delivery for you. We have had to do the latter as noone can seem to find us...lol. Although IKEA, online order, came up trumps and found us.

Getting a gas bottle and a portable gas fire may be a priority for you...although there may be some empties at your property. You can exchange orange at Longo garden centre and silver CEPSA ones at the petrol station of the same name....we found getting a contract for a further CEPSA bottle easy.

On the spot queries can often be resolved by asking on the Albox Chatter Facebook Group which you may have already found.

Good luck and enjoy the experience 

Jane and Paul

You are very, very wrong indeed because you have no idea as to why we are moving ahead of our planned date. But if shooting your mouth off with no input makes you happy, i have broad shoulders, which are well covered with very thick skin.

Would love to.

Next few days will be pretty busy, but some time next week would be great. We're very lucky to be retired and suddenly find ourselves with the time to do things without running out of weekend and then having to work all week worrying about stuff that didnt happen on our days off.

Today, were spending most of fhe morning at the town hall. Padron, Spanish lessons enrolement and finally seeing the internet guys. Then this afternoon, our beloved dog arrives. Somewhere in the midst of that lot, we need some time to buy a few things for the house.

How did I ever have time to work? Ill get in touch next week to sort out a meet.

Thanks for replying. Lee.

A huge thank you for all this info. It's invaluable to go somewhere with personal recommendations, rather than sticking a pin in a ton of random names on websites and hoping for the best.

This 👍 will always be better than this 🤞

Apart from one lone person on this superb forum, everybody gets it.

Thanks again folks.
