Try:

Carrer del Forn, nº1, bajo, 03730 Xàbia, Alicante

Known as a mercería

I've seen it many years ago but as a man don't do much sewing!

Good luck

Depends what sort of quality you want. Most of the Chinese shops sell sewing thread, and those huge reels for overlockers. However, they are not the quality of Guterman or Monylycke, but are adequate for a bit of basic sewing. They also sell most haberdashery items.

If you walk around Javea old town you will spot a shop somewhere. Spanish ladies do sew and repair a lot, but the shops are usually where the rates are lowest, ie off the main streets.

I know Amazon is easy but it's nice to support your local shops 🙂
