Went yesterday to swap my empty cylinder for a full one - the garages at Garrucha and Vera looked at me as if I was stupid asking for gas and even the Repsol shop in Vera could not tell me where I could get some.

From my limited Spanish it seems to be a problem with lorries or drivers but does anyone know what is going on? Cannot imagine its the Russian gas issue at that's still being bought by the EU and its not LPG.

Good job the weather is not bad or the missus would want the fire on - ahhh

Yes the lorry driver strike. Just before the strike prices of bottles were almost double in some places. There are no bottles for miles, my local garage says the strike will go into April. Don’t know when further negotiations are taking place. Lots of articles in the Spanish news.

Thanks, I guessed it was something like that.

Luckily we are heading back to the UK on Monday to get some sun!

It's all got to do with delivery.  Same as everything else!
