As malabu has said every tile supplier will have them, the one we found an used, is on the Industrial Estate behind Mercadona in Rosario, there is another one opposite Ikea, and there used to be one up opposite the ITV station near Frani Y Chem.

Thanks I looked in both those places (and a few more!) but they only seem to sell modern types? I'll keep looking tho, really need some names of places to pinpoint exactly where I need to look

There was (not sure if its still there now) a place that sold Moroccan furniture on the front row of the industrial estate in Rosario.  They may have Moroccan tiles or could maybe get them.   Its a big unit with furniture outside,  good luck

Here we go

Atika
Industrial La Hondura,35600
Puerto del Rosario.
Teléfono: +34928 53 26 39

Depends on which direction you are coming from Corallejo turn off at the petrol station, then keep Mercadona on your left, and it is on the right, if I remember rightly there is a paint shop next door.

Aitka are very expensive compared to Marmoles.

Marmoles has a manufacturing base behind Ideal in Rosario with a small display of tiles. However the actual best place to view is in El charco in Rosario. Its the place where the Spanish go but amazing display of tiles and they searched out to get the edging tiles I wanted from the huge warehouse which they have next door.

Have a look at this page

If you have an idea of what you want and can take a picture of it to Marmoles (or a tile if you have one) then they might be able to source it for you. The lady in the store has limited English, so if you don`t speak any Spanish I would suggest you take a printed copy of a google translation of what you are after.

Buena suerte en tu búsqueda de un azulejo
