    I get my 907s from the site if possible but experience has shown that most Ferreteria shops stock them!  My last one was from such a place...they aren't the cheapest (2017 prices were around 16 euro to exchange) but if you NEED one.....

    Thanks for your reply’s, just been able to get back on line and looks like camping gaz cylinders not sold in Spain! Not too urgent as we have a full one left just wanted to make sure we didn’t run out. May have a look for a cylinder as WayToGo suggests.

    Just had a thought....have you tried the Leroy Merlin stores (Spanish B&Q)?

    Oh yes they do..... I've exchanged them all along the med coast...as far as Tarifa.  Also in the Cadiz/Jerez region and north as far as Salamanca!

    That's what all our French neighbours do!  French gas refills cost three times as much as Spanish ones, so everyone buys a bottle at a car boot sale, and then drives to the nearest dealer to exchange it.

    You will need a Spanish regulator which may be available in larger hypermarkets, or caravan accessory places.

    Most of us have built in regulators these days. Can you purchase a 'non-regulator' adapter?

    Thanks for the info, I’ll start my search again. On the Campingaz website there are no stockists for cylinders in Spain! So thought I’d had it but if you guys know different then great.

    th3 problem with getting a Spanish one is I only hav3 a small camper (ford transit custom) so nothing taller than the 907 will fit in the locker.

    i was going t9 get a refillable before leaving uk but as Campingaz is sold all over Europe didn’t bother then this problem.

    ill start my hunt a 17.30 this evening when shops open again and will post if successful.

    You should be able to find a Gaz stockist in Spain.  I have never had a problem but that has been in the summercool   Check in Supermarkets.

    Thanks all again especially AJB found and bought a 907 for €16.75 robbery I know but still a lot cheaper then uk for Campingaz.

    unbelievable that Campingaz website show NO stockist in Spain, and I find it in a small town called La Herradura. That may prompt an email to Campingaz to let them know they do have stockists in Spain

    Thanks again

    Camping Gaz is not cheap but 16.75 euros is much less than I paid last year.  Glad you have been able to get one.
