there is one in Benijofar on main road, or the one in Quesada just through arches on left hand side. (sign on side of road, down lane)

When in Spain, why not use a Spanish butcher. There is one in La Marina village, just opposite the bike shop.

I can understand wanting an English butchers, as the Spanish seem to slaughter their beasts and put the meat immediately on sale, meaning you often get tough meat lacking in flavour.

A good Spanish butchers near us are the franchise in Lidl at Almoradi. They'll cut meat to the thickness you require. If you buy beef, they'll vac pack it for you so you can put it in the fridge for two or three weeks to mature.

Only Meat in Torrevieja are a Spanish butchers but Miguel matures and cuts his meat the English way, and also makes Cumberland sausages, burgers etc. We used to use Reeves at San Luis, but abandoned them in favour of Only Meat. Miguel does the best Barnsley chops we've ever had, and his rump steaks are the equal of the best we've had in the UK.
