Ayamonte Thrift Stores
Due to all the information on this site I've been able to easily figure out how to get there and also book my fight for the end of August. (Faro - thanks so much as I would never have considered it!)
I have lots more to research and will do so in due course. However, what I need to know now is info about the local thrift stores. An ex-pat living in Canada for the last 38 years, I have still maintained drinking tea out of a cup and saucer. I have a good collection. Right now I'm selling, downsizing and packing for a future relocation to Spain, though initially I'm just doing the final check when I come in August.
Will I find tea cups and saucers in the local thrift stores? Or shall I plan on bringing a few of my own? Obviously I don't want to ship anything other than what won't cost me an arm and a leg so I won't be bringing ovenware, kitchen dishes and the like...but I'm partial to a tea cup and saucer.
Thanks so much.

Hi RuthH, something that might interest you as a resident of Canada is that there is a Costco in Seville (about 1hr 15mins from Ayamonte). So if you are a member keep your card as you can use it there. Regards Bryony

Re: Ayamonte Thrift Stores
It was the NGI or MGI store that was closed by the police, and now gone completely. The cash and carry is behind and that is still going strong, was there the other day. They have lots of good bargains, same as the one as you go into Lepe. Some things are cheaper in one and some in the other, both worth a look

Re: Ayamonte Thrift Stores
I thought thrift stores were charity/second hand shops ? there is at least one in Ayamonte, just down from one of my favourite tapas bars Bar Cortado, Calle Padre Aine Carbonell.
Edit to add there is something else with second hand furniture and other pieces on the corner of the road leading from main shopping area past the fruit/veg/meat market on to the big Chinese shop facing the Guadiana river.

Re: Ayamonte Thrift Stores
Sorry, I got confused with the shop above, which sold many appliances at excellent prices....
