There is a newsagent in Javea port that sells English cards and I believe there is another English shop over at the Arenal end of Javea that sells same.

I also know that the new mall under construction in Ondara will have a C&A in it.

Have you tried the Quick Save shops that are dotted around. for English foodstuffs? A little pricey but they do have those certain items you may be craving for.

Benidorm Indoor market for cards.

Zara's and H&Ms in La Marina shopping centre in Finestrat.

Lables and Tables sell Next clothes etc in La Nucia, just by Alfaz roundabout.

Nearest Primark is Murcia just off AP7. About 2 hrs away from you by car.

You can also get a lot by mail order these days. Amazon, Lands End (US I know but still good), Boden, White Company all come to mind. We use a company called Britsuperstore for food especially at Christmas. Sad that M&S don't do international delivery!

If you forget a uk birthday and leave it late, try here

http://whsmith.moonpigcards.com/?a=whsmsl2005

You can choose, edit and personalise cards - you can even create your own with your own pictures - and they send them direct in the Uk.

If I'm posting cards to the Uk from Spain, I often send one from that link as well just in case I get my timings wrong and miss with the spanish one.
