Hi all,

First timer so please take it easy with me...

I am going to Benidorm at the end of February 2014 to do some tiling and painting for a friend. Is there a DIY store like B&Q out there close by?

Any help really appreciated

As Concierge for the Spanish section of BE I would like to say hello and welcome.

BE is a very large expat website, so if you have problems finding your way around we have concierges who will try to direct you. The moderators for the Spanish forums are Mitzyboy and Fred James, moderators are there to ensure that the site runs smoothly within the rules of BE. Problems and complaints should always be addressed to a moderador who will look into the matter and deal with it efficiently and fairly. Our members who post in the Spain Forums are friendly and helpful with a wealth of knowledge of the issues of living in Spain. At the top of the page you will find a quirkily named thread called Free Beer which is full of important and useful information. Hope you enjoy your time participating in the forums.

Please let me know if you need any further help.

Thanks, do you know if there is a good selection of tiles and paints there?

I have not been to that particular one but know that LeRoy Merlin is possibly the best place to shop for DIY in Spain. We practically lived in three different ones when we were renovating our house.

Hi and thank you for your help, that place looks ideal and is only about 30 mins away and on looking at their web site they sell all the materials we need
