Where can I buy spices and herbs near Mojacar?
Looking for a reasonable supply for spices and herbs. Especially fresh stuff - kaffir lime, fresh rosemary, galangal etc. Any ideas? Thanks

I have never seen galangal or keffir lime leaves in a Spanish market stall, in this area anyway. These herbs are used only in Indian and Tai cuisine I think. I buy mine online or get family to bring this sort of thing when they visit from the UK. In general these spices are not known to the Spanish and if available will be quite expensive. Try Iceland or Super Turre for unusual spices. Fresh rosemary grows wild and in many gardens. Sometimes Consum, Carrefour or Alcampo sell little packets in their fruit & veg departments. Lidl do it sometimes too, but here in a Almeria rarely. Garden centres also sell rosemary plants.
Thanks for your helpful replies

You might struggle to find galangal but most markets, Lidl and Mercadona sell fresh ginger. Chillies, we usually grow ourselves, although, Consum a Mercadona in Vera have them too. There is a new Thai restaurant on valle de este golf course so that might be a good place to ask x K
