You got no excuses now

Quite right a DIY store , whereas Leroy merlin is more like your B&Q , Bricoking is more like your Focus , is one in Puerto , just nice to have something of that type local , although it is had to fault the Cigarron at Pago . you can have a loolk wwww.bricoking.es

they also do some cracking deals, excellent news that they have opened up here, i got such a good deal on modern taps i took them back to the UK, we got some very funny looks from the airport security, the xray attendant had them going back & forth, & even called over extra staff just to check :scared:

I agree Cigarron is the best.....I never bothered with them when I first arrived but now they are my first port of call. Sometimes they are even cheaper than the supermarkets, Carrefour and Eroski, and the quality is better. In the winter when everyone else had sold out of green wellies they came up trumps, and are endlessly patient, and open on Sundays too. Armed with my dictionary I manage to source nearly any and everything.

Yeah agree i went up there armed with my piece of paper & my best basic spanish with what i required, & came away with everything i wonted very helpful indeed & we both had a good laugh getting there highly recommended

Where's Cigarron?

steve in pago

On the main rd in pago up past the farmcia

poollounger

Looks like a garage but is an Aladdins cave inside. Everything from Panama hats to fly swatters, plumbing fittings to orange trees to diesel generators. Midway between the Sopresa and the Florentina on the opposite side of the road, open Saturdays until 2pm and Sundays until 1pm. And so very patient..

always busy look for cement mixers outside u cant miss it

There's a similar sort of shop in La Barossa but I don't think it opens Sundays.

Chiclanagir

La Union - it´s part of a chain, there is one in town.

CDL Ben

The Mayor of Chiclana has categorically stated that the fires were not deliberate and that the ruined pine forests will not be developed as long as he has anything to do with it. I've got 50€ saying that they will !!!!
Another Julian Muñoz ????

Chiclanagir

How can he state that they were not started deliberately when there have been arrests, surely it´s a matter of waiting for the courts to decide! In the latest one at Roche two men on a motorcycle were seen and are suspects.

Where are the ruined pine forests CDL ?? A campaign to have them re-planted ??

Mourinho

Just a question of time before area of pines developed , todays paper says that the two storey rule is being relaxed in some areas , Chiclana is growing at the rate of 2000 new residents a year , they don't want to widen the area around Chiclana being developed so they will be going up , this will apply mainly to down town area , Chiclana has and is still seeing larger than average house price increases, so with the rich rewards possible will see greed get the better of people when planning decisions area made.
