We have a paraffin lamp in England that we want to take out to Spain - (empty of paraffin of course) because the electricity frequently gets cut off in our village. Can anyone tell me what paraffin is and where to buy it? Would the ferraterias sell it?
Thanks
Jane
What is the Spanish for paraffin and where is it sold?

I bought lighting oil for an Alladin paraffin lamp, but it was the wrong stuff, much too thick and gooey. I have not seen paraffin for lamps anywhere yet, so I'd be interested if you get it. You will find regular paraffin easily enough, but it's sooty when it burns, lighting oil burns clean.
Slainte,
