We bought all our bedding and towels in Yorkshire Linen in La Zenia. Very pleased with all of it. Great choices and great quality. Staff are excellent too. Not expensive either.

Towels bought recently from Al Campo are lovely and fluffy after several washes.

Hi Janet,

I bought these black towels from M&S Spain online:

https://www.marksandspencer.com/en-es/egyptian-cotton-luxury-towel/p/P60508646.html?dwvar_P60508646_color=Y0&swatchId=Y0&pid=P60508646

They´re 600gsm, thick and luxurious - and absolutely no shedding.  You get free delivery to Spain if you spend €70 and there's no customs' charges added on at delivery.

Kind regards,

Kim

I bought maroon coloured bath towels, hand towels and bath mats from Carrefour and they all shredded fluff, after washing them a number of times they are fine now

I think it must be the darker coloured towels that cause the most problems.

We bought towels from JYSK - they shed first couple of washes and were fine after that

I have recently bought 4 new black towels from Primark.  They weren't their cheapest ones but to say I'm disappointed is an understatement.

I have washed them 4 times now using bicarbonate of soda and white vinegar and they are still leaving fluff everywhere and all over me when I use them, and making a real mess....

...

Can anyone recommend a good place to buy towels in the La Zenia/Villamartin area that won't shed after the first wash?

Primark.... Cheap and nasty. I rest my case.
