Do you live in the Benidorm Area?
 
Hi, i wonder if any of you attend the local market on a sunday in benidorm, if so have u seen a stall that is run by a british couple and sell door numbers , letters that can go in an ironwork frame.i wish to purchase some and would like to get hold of this couple, does anyone know them and could possibly get an e mail contact address for them or anyone else who sells theses items.

Don't know a British couple doing it and don't know Benidorm....however virtually every market I've ever been to seems to have someone selling these....:)

Many shops which sell tiles and pottery gifts (I'm thinking large shops selling hand-painted Spanish style stuff here, urns, benches, stone tables, plates to display on your wall, rather than bathroom suppliers or shops which sell tea-sets), beside the N332 between Benidorm and Vergel seem to sell those type of tiles/tile holders. Can't remember the name of any particular one, but a leisurely drive north will bring you past plenty!

Now I'm a bit confused. Do you want to order them for use in the UK? Which would explain your thinking of getting internet access? If they're for Spain why not just wait til you're here - they're not hard to get hold of. Honest!:)

Maybe they want the actual people on the market, you know, not anyone else, just them.........



Clever.

To clear the waters a little, is it that you are not coming to Spain but you want to buy some of these for your home there?

If so, they do sell those tiles on the internet here http://www.freewebstore.org/APieceof...055_44316.aspx
but the prices are prohibitive compared to what they cost in Spain!
