I have alway had my gas delivered (no charge) through CESPA (servicio oficial). Isn't this service available throughtout SPain?

If you can get a second can it doesn't half ease the tension. We had two gas heaters when we moved in, so two bottles.

We've actually got four bottles - two water heaters, a cooker & spare. In a manically bad moment I did ask the Repsol supplier if I could arrange to have another, but it seems it's typically Spanish bureaucracy .... fill in another form, check the house, NIE, inside leg measurement, etc., before you can. I gave up!

I am fed up with Repsol. We have lived here nearly 3 years now and they still will not deliver to our house even though they pass the end of our road once every two weeks. I have asked them so many times now to deliver gas and each time they say of course they will come. It is now even more difficult because the OH is working away during the week and it means I have to go to town to collect the gas - and they weigh a "tonne". We have four gas bottles, two for the gas fires, one for the hot water. One of the gas bottles is in a silver container which is a lot lighter - this is replaced at the ferreteria. The ferreteria also has stocks of the orange bottles.

Not fair if they pass the end of your road......however there are loads of us out here who have no choice but to go to town, nothing delivers not even the post!!!!

I found the best way is to take a single empty orange bottle to the delivery wagon, Hand the driver a crisp 50 euro note and drive away with two full bottles. When we first arrived we only had one,We now have four. No red tape required,Just a smile and some cash.

Further details below if you wish to go though normal channels.

(no delivery wagon that'd know me.....they only do the pueblo!)

They will probably let you exchange the orange repsol bottles for the lighter silver cepsa bottles if you ask nicely, I know our local garage does.

4 bottles seems to be the magic number - we too have 4. But the garage won't change any more than 2 at a time, when they actually have any.
its a pain in the arse tbh, i know when we stay in denia theres a big garage that has a huge trailer full of the cepsa silver bottles, all the time. why cant our local do the same? i dont think the bottle geezer comes thru our urb as its non-tarmacced and a bit bumpy on it.

And quite possibly the funniest...

will you all stop moaning gas is all over the place it doesnt take much to go and collect it .if your not happy then go back to england then you will have some thing to moan about.

I dont really think thats necessary
Its a discussion thread .... if people want to moan then thats their perrogative, and its human nature .... if you dont like it then just ignore it

oh you little tinker your a fine won

Im not sure I go around telling people to go home if they dont like it, and I know what kind of response that normally brings ... so probably best not to go there eh?

I've got a car, you may have a car..... for those that haven't??? go back to England???
