I am renovating a couple of bathrooms and am looking for some original tiles from around  25 years ago.

I am only short of around a dozen or so each of 3 types....... does anyone know where I should look on the Costa Blanca?

thanks in advance

Iain.

I've never been there, but have heard it should be a good place to find old tiles. This is a link to an old post on the forum. 

Tile Graveyard near Dos Mares ?

Best of luck. 

Just realised where you are, my suggestion was a bit too far from home. 

Sorry. 😣

If you go on the Gata road, through the town and out the other side, some little distance outside the town on the LHS is a tile warehouse selling all kinds of discontinued and leftover. Also before Gata there is a Rastro on the RHS where you may find something.

However, unless they are an exclusive handmade product, I would not be sanguine about finding stocks of commercial tiles from so long ago. Can you see a manufacturer’s name or ID of any kind on the back? In which case you could send a photo to the factory and ask them.
