Hi, I need to buy a couple of large outdoor parasols - solid with a study base, can anyone recommend anywhere in the Mojacar area. I have already bought two from Lopez but they just blow over or inside out!!

Thanks

Hi, we got some nice parasols from Ikea, whilst we were up in Murcia we went to a place called Leroy Merlin, bit like BnQ on steroids, ok both not local, theres also Carrefour at Lorca, hope that helps some.

Hi, this is just us as we find a lot of local stuff overpriced and of poor quality. We live part-time in Mojacar and would NEVER buy from Lopez. We sourced in UK and had the umbrellas shipped to meandmrsjonestransport to bring out. The bases we had fabricated by Metalbox in Albox, pricey but it would take a gorilla swinging on the umbrellas and rotary clothesline to move from vertical.

Cheaper in long run.

Best Wishes,

Anything that helps with purchases is great as it seems to be a constant drip feed of money for the first 12 months getting everything together in a new apartment, so thanks for this.

Looking for the banana parasol stand, dont need the umbrella as doing a bit of a project, any pointers gratefully accepted, Ikea have two styles at €50 and €70 so obviously looking for cheaper.
