You need to find your nearest quarries. I did that last October, simply googled "quarries near Villena" and a whole list came up. We then went to nearest(as Spanish too limited on telephone) and with Google translate were able to order 3 lorries full (1lorry approx 15ton) and unbelievably at 9.5€ a ton. Free delivery if I paid cash on delivery. Actually added another 15ton by email using Google translate and received later same day. We will be getting more when we return (just hoping weeds have not grown through it all). Big differrence on price from quarry compared to big white dumper bags, especially if you need a lot. It didn't go as far as we thought. They had sand too and going in person allows you to see the size of gravel.
