Buying Bottled Gas in Spain

[kloofnek]

I am going to Spain for three months in my campervan.Does anyone out there know about how I will be able to buy bottled gas as the three I have will not last for that length of time. Thanx...

Gas bottles are readily available in spain as long as you replace it with empty one. You can get them from most larger supermarkets and most towns will have a supplier. They cost about 10 Euros.

Thanks pretty-snowdrop,Would that be 10 euros for a replacement once you have the initial bottle? So where will I get this,the initial one.
I have heard one has to have a contract to be able to buy the gas over there????

just a thought.
if you're going to be on electric hook-up most/all of the time, what about buying a small electric hotplate (£20) to use outside for cooking, and maybe a small electric heater for heating inside (depending on the time of year)? would save a considerable amount of gas and you may find that one gas bottle would last the entire time.
we go to france for up to 7 weeks twice a year with our caravan, as well as using it the same amount in this country, and our last gas bottle lasted two and a half years.
