If you are dependent on rental income, I would suggest you think again.

i would go for a decent shower, people don't really bath nowadays... maybe the older people, our 4 year old showers...

As one of the "older people" I can tell you that we and everyone here that we know thats "older" prefer a shower.

The best place to find bathroom/shower room furniture is in the large DIY stores such as Leroy Merlin or Akí, you will find all you need there.
I would buy a glass shower cubicle, the plastic ones are cheaper but don't cope too well with the high lime content of the water here, they are very bad to remove the limescale from.

As another 'older person' I also am a shower person, though not those Battery powered on the wall jobbies that you tend to get in UK. I mean the real deal, plumbed in version with hot and cold supply connected.

When my wife and check out possible accommodation a bath with shower over is a big 'no no' and we move on to the next prospect. Stepping over the side of a bath to use the shower and stepping out again with wet feet is an invitation to an accident.

As for a bath for the kiddies which is a good point, a half bath and a shower cubical might be the best of both worlds.

In an apartment a shower is fine for most people I would have thought.

They will probably be out of town or on polígonos. Here's a couple I found on google for you:
Manara Baños
Sanemientos Salgueros
Just search for baños saneamientos torremolinos

Looks like us oldies have it :thumbup:

Our current rental originally had a nice big tiled shower cubicle ( half a room ) obviously to appease the last tenants they had a bath put in over the shower base. Nightmare, dangerous or what, my OH has already slipped once even with a silly mat in the bottom of the bath, you have to use a step to step into the bath & waddle up to the shower, landlord is a nice chap so I will have to butter him up into removing the bath, and neither of us are OAP's.

Just having a shower limits the range of clients and also resale value. Most upmarket hotels and spas are advertising massage baths and special oils. Showers are ok. in the morning but for relaxing in the evening, especially before a special occasion, nothing beats a good soak, exfoliation and a couple of candles with a glass of wine. You can always finish with a good power shower to rinse of the oil and grime:thumbup:

I disagree!

The first thing that many people do when buying a house here in Spain is to remove the bath....they are very dangerous things for both the elderly and for the young!
Having a bath rather than a shower in this hot climate... where water conservation is paramount, is in my opinion extremely wasteful and irresponsible!

Another good point +1
