I ordered some 79 sqm of floor tiles last week from a shop about 4kms from our house. I was told that they would have to be ordered from Seville, and they would ring me to arrange delivery.
I received a call this afternoon to say the tiles had arrived at the shop and were we at home to accept and pay for them in around 20 minutes? Yes I replied.

25 minutes later the door bell rings and there is a guy outside with a fork lift complete with a pallet ful of tiles having driven it the 4kms

And there was me expecting a truck with a Hi-ab.

You know you are living in Spain when that sort of thing happens. We see so many things that we know would not occur in UK and that is what makes this life so different and interesting.

What on average do a sort of standard floor tiles sell for here? I guess you've done the research. I've been quoted 10 e per sq mtr for a pretty standard light mottled finish tile

€10 sounds reasonable.
I would say the average price for decent floor tiles ranges from €8-€12. I have just paid €10 for something similar to the ones you described. You can also buy "seconds" for around €5-€6 They usually look fine, but may be somewhat warped, and difficult to lay. (waiting for the replies on that bit)

I would avoid the fancy places such as Porcelanosa eg. unless you want to pay around €20-€40 per m. stick to builders merchants.

Don't forget you will also need "rodapies" (plinths for the edges) these usually work out at around €1-€2 per linear m

We have never paid any more than 5 E a square metre and my other half cuts the tile to create the edge. we have found Brico Depot the best quality and price, First not seconds
