Just remembered that the Intermarche near railway station in Vila real de S.A. stocks brand new bikes at around 100 euro. Can't vouch for quality.

that's also a good option. Perhaps not ideal at that price as they won't be the best quality but that's what I'll get if I can't find decent second hand bikes

thanks for the suggestions

HI, I looked to get a used bike in Spain and leave at the apartment, but I found it was hopeless !! I was looking to spend 400/500 euros on a road bike, aluminium frame, not carbon for that money. All I could find was overpriced tired old junk on MilAnnuncios. I ended up buying a new Cube from Chain Reaction for the UK and shipping my 4 year old Trek over to Spain. That seemed to be the best option at the time. At the cheaper end used bikes in Spain seem to be poor quality and not maintained, hence not worth the hassle. You don't want to be on holiday and constantly trying to fix faults. PLEASE, do NOT buy a 100 euro new bike made in China. You get what you pay for. The crank bearings wear out fast, gears are problematic- its all cheap and nasty, plus they are seriously HEAVY and hard work to ride - not much fun !! Hopefully, someone will read this post and have a half decent bike they no longer need and contact you. If not, you would be better to bite the bullet and buy a couple of new hybrids that are of reasonable quality circa 200 euros upwards. At least then with a bit of oil on the chain and gears occasionally you should expect to get many years of hassle free riding. Ps, I note that bike tyres tend to perish / crack in the sun quite badly in Spain, hence chances are a used bike will need new tyres quite quick.

We bought a couple of fairly decent hybrids from one of the bike shops in Lepe. Not the one on the main road through but coming from Ayamonte direction it's on the right about a block in next to (or is!!) a motorcycle shop.
