Title: Bed linen and towels
Post by: polkadot on December 20, 2016, 15:08:15 PM
Where is the best place on the island to buy good quality bed linen and towels?

Unfortunately in my experience best bought from the UK as most bed linen stocked here either low quality or relatively expensive. Nortysur next to Ideal in Rosario have some decent quality stuff, but at a price.

El 99 in Puerto del Rosario are more competitive in price and quality is pretty good too.

Agree, they also have some good duvets but sell out quickly

Try Ikea !

EL 99 is excellent and Ikea is also good but do check Ikea bed sizes as we found they were not quite the same as the beds we purchased in FUE.    We have also purchased in the UK (70% off sale) and found them to be the best option.

Title: Where to buy linen in the Corralejo area
Post by: COPPERS on December 27, 2016, 19:34:51 PM
Hi everyone. Just looking to revamp our beds with new linen.  Not really interested in Ikea but does anyone know of any local shops that could assist?  We originally brought out bedding from the UK but they were different bed sizes so looking to go very Spanish with bedspreads etc (rather than duvets). Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks Coppers

Good for you! There's more choice in Puerto of course. But Corralejo has a shop called Beds in Calle Juan Carlos and a shop just down from there in Calle Lepanto.  The bed shop next to Correos may do linens too. Then there's Fuerchina and Maki - not sure about the quality in those.

I would normally go to Puerto: Nort y Sur, Centrogar or the places up from the 3 Bums roundabout - El99 and Cost something?

El 99 will meet your needs

We just bought some memory foam pillows with new pillow cases, excellent quality and price.

Calle lapanto - the road up from the petrol station in the centre of town.  On the very last block at the top on the right there is a small shop that sells soft furnishings, bedding and towels.
Also the material shop Poplin, on the top road and round the corner from the other one I have mentioned.

Where is "the three bums" roundabout, that must be a local name I take it ?? Can't say I have noticed it

This is it, the road leading off to the right takes you up to the bus station. If you go into Rosario from the airport side, it is the 3rd roundabout.

It is normally one of the first landmarks you learn in Rosario.   :D
