Hello,

Just moved to Arboleas from Los Alcazares in Murcia. We used to buy our wine, loose, from one of the local bodegas there but can find nothing like that here. Are there any Bodegas local or even near here ?

Regards Steve

Not sure if it is still there or not but I believe there used to be one near Pulpi on the road from Cuevas del Almanzora, am sure someone may be able to confirm this.

Hi Steve, Like you we moved down from Valencia  5years ago, and we have yet to fine a Bodego that sells wine straight from the barrel into your own bottles. Like there is up north. Perhaps someone on here knows of any.

I dont drink so doesn't bother me, but my husband was a tad pi**ed off and has had to go over to shop bought, but he says no way is it as good or cheap. I think he used to pay 1e for a flagon the size of a 5L waterbottle or if he really wanted to treat himself 2.50e for the really good stuff.  Have a good day
