Nice apartment on the edge of town - nothing fancy, just quiet with nice views. First, as I was too late for the agents survey, just had to say a word about our agent, Inmobiliarias J.L.Morales in Almoradi. Principal - Pepe; sales - John Ward. Honest, straightforward, couldn't do enough for us up to, during and after the sale. 125% brilliant. Can't recommend them highly enough. Second, need some paint and stuff now! Does anyone know of a B&Q/Homebase-type place in the Torrevieja area? We aim to be popping back and forth over the next few months, decorating and furnishing etc. Any recommendations for places for furniture in the same area also? Finally, great site! Was pointed this way by a friend and now I'm hooked. Thanks in anticipation for the help Steve. PS - Any other readers in Almoradi?

Hope you have a great time visiting your apartment. There are lots of places in Torrevieja for paint and building supplies. Aki stores in the Habanera centre (next to the big Carrefour) is similar to a B&Q in UK. There is also a Brico House after the Punta Prima roundabout heading towards Playa Flamenca (head south on the N332. Take the slip road directly after the Punta Prima roundabout and Brico House is about 300 metres up on your right). There is also a Brico Todo a bit further along on the N322. Take the turning for Campoamar Golf and it is right in front of you on the right of the Tex Mex restaurant. They will order things for you and cut wood to size etc. Happy painting!!! Spam post?

We are near to the Medical Centre about 10minutes walk to the square. You shouldn,t have much trouble finding furniture in Almoradi , it is called "the town of furniture", there is a street that has one shop after another. It is a lovely place, very friendly and still very Spanish. Best Wishes Gill & Neil. Spam post? If so please click here to report it
