Paving blocks - where can I buy them?

[peteroldracer]

We are putting together a 'presupuesto' to apply for a licence for building a wall, gate and car-stand, and I cannot find anywhere in Velez-Málaga or district to get paving blocks - the kind that look rustic (or even a kind that looks like a UK brick drive!), as used outside the Conference Centre in Malaga and all over - like a cobblestone. Anyone help?

Peter, I think there is a place just outside Torre del Mar, on the road towards Rincon. At the new roundabout (and posh fountain) take the exit immediately before the main road - it leads past the 'Royal Club' and Hyundai garage. Just on the right there is a brick & block place (I think!)
If not, then apologies in advance,
exit backwards, grovelling.

Isn't there a Leroy Merlin over your side of Malaga? I thought I'd seen one, maybe where Dunnes is? Doesn't show up on their website. They seem to sell just about everything you could possibly need. If Malaga (before the airport) isn't too far for you, check this: http://www.leroymerlin.es/mpng2-front/p ... e_exterior

A quick update - colinm, thanks for that - the bloke was helpful, and although they stock all sorts of stuff, not those blocks. he did however give me the name Terrazos Campanillas in Malaga and their website looks a possible source! Other azuleos or pavimientos dealers in Velez and Torre didn't have them, but the building supplies place behind El Ingenio has some fairly plain bricks that would be strong enough, and is Brit-friendly.
Miro - Leroy and bauhaus are both possible sources, but I have found that costs go up once both west of malaga and in the diy supermarkets. Generally in Spain I have found that supermarkets charge you more than small shops for the convenience of getting more under the same roof.......
I will get there in the end!

theres a building suppliers in benemorgosa, and another 10 ?? in velez, they are all over the place down there. ask someone, a neibour : "donde hay una almacen de materiales de construction?? qual es el mas cercana?", or stop at a building site and ask where they get theirs from.

out of interest, find out the price of bricks for me, "bloques normales, de la 9 centimetro". they are 9c each here.

spanish_lad: as you will no doubt know, paving slabs and floor tiles are deemed not to be building supplies here, so one must search in places selling azulejos and pavimientos.....i.e not the benamargosa place (although they do sell nearly everything else, apart from wood, whish is not a building sup......etc

Have you tried Bustos in Colmenar? Or Cano Barba or any of the other suppliers on the poligono?
