New Kitchen, Cieza.
Hi,
We have just purchased a house in Cieza (Murcia Region). We would like to know where we could buy a new kitchen at a reasonable price. We also require furniture ie: beds, bedroom furniture and living room furniture which needs to be Rustic. We have had a little look around the area and have found the furniture to be very expensive.
Regards,
Dave & Vicky

Re: New Kitchen, Cieza.
Congratulations on your new house in Cieza.
Cieza I believe is quite in-land, your nearest big-ish town would be Molina de Segura. They have all sorts of shops.
Have you spoken with your local carpenter? They can usually produce very nice hand made kitchen cubpoards at very good value. i.e. you could have basic cupboards, with hand crafted doors and classy door handles, making your kitchen unique and stylish.
on the other hand.
LeRoy Merlin outside Alicante sells kitchen packs ready to assemble, as well as all sorts of household items.
There is a company called Mueble May, they are all over Spain, they can order anything that you like, you can choose from shop displays or catalogues, they always give a discount.
Hope this helps a little.

Hi,
Many thanks for the reply.
We have seen some base units in Torrevieja at a shop called AKI but they were very modern doors which wouldn't suit the style of house. I will ask around for the local carpenter as you suggested and also try to find Leroy Merlin and see what he they have to offer. Mnay thanks for your help and we will keep in touch and let you know how we get on.
regards, Dave & Vicky.

The Segura and Ricote valley areas are a beautifull part of Spain, good luck

You are not far away from us, only about 6 miles. Our house is nearly finished now so we need to buy some furniture. You are right about it being a beautiful part of Spain. We are trying to sell our holiday home in Las Filopinas which is by Villa Martin golf course(Torrevieja) and in a couple of years time move out to Cieza which is a lot more Spanish( i can't wait!!).
Many thanks,
Dave

We drove over from England accross France to Spain inn an old sherpa van, it took 3 days!! but we did manage to take over some furniture so we at least have something to sit on!
Our house is in the middle of the valley facing the mountains in a 3 acre plot with peach trees, there is a lot of work still to do outside but there isn't any rush to do it. Keep in touch,

). Our house is liveable but very dated. There is a lot of land, olives,almonds and vines...but I'm not too sure what it equates to in acres. There is a smaller house, very basic, in fact I refer to it as the air raid shelter, which we are having a bathroom put in, which will tide us over when we come for hols, till we decide what we want to do, and more importantly what we can afford to do, to the main house. There is lots of wobbly furniture and there were 9 beds, most of which HAS to go. At least if we drive over, we can enjoy the beautiful countryside, and my husband and I get used to being in one anothers company 24/7....I think the hardest thing that I will find trouble adapting to, is not being rushed off my feet. I am a bit of a workaholic.....but the time has come to slow down!

I know what you mean about being rushed off your feet, we can't move for at least 2 years due to family commitments but at least it gives us a bit of time to get the house sorted
It does sound like you have a lot of work to do on your house, it's worth it as it's a lovely place to live, away from all the stress!!
Keep in touch and let me know how you get on, we might see you over there in december, i've got to learn how to cook a Paella!!
Luego,
Dave

I'm reading a lovely book at the moment by Derek Lambert, 'Spanish Lessons' I found it in one of those cheapo book shops for £1. It's his account of giving up his career as a journalist to start a new life in rural Spain. It's funny, eye opening and sort of reasuring.

Re: New Kitchen, Cieza.
This is our kitchen at present.....don't know whether to knock it through to the main house, losing a bedroom and making a larger living/dining area, or keep it seperate. All we know for sure is that those units HAVE to go!

Curry!!! Our favorite meal!! Can't wait.
I have just read the same book, it is quite funny in places, are you going to adopt a 3 legged cat and stray dogs!!
Other good books are by Chris Stewart, Driving over Lemons and A parrot in the pepper tree.
We like your kitchen, it will look lovely on the top of a bonfire!!
I have attached a couple of pics of our pad in Cieza, it should be finished in about a week.
Speak to you soon,

As for our house we need to save up over the next two years to sort a porch out on the front and also get a pool. If you find anyone who installs pools let us know.
