I have no experience of using them but saw them recently in La Zenia.

When we moved from Spain back to the UK, end of last year we used Howells in Rojales.   Highly recommend them, could not fault the service. Good luck.    http://www.howells-removals.com

We also used Howells to move from UK with a large load and they were brilliant.

It´s best to contact them yourself as they charge by the m3 and we packed up ourselves so I don´t know if they offer this service. They were very accommodating with the last minute completion date in the UK and the change of delivery date in Spain when the purchase didn´t go through when it was supposed to. I think up to 3 months storage was included within the price and we live up an unpaved track that the main lorry couldn´t get up so unloaded it onto a smaller van for the last km. They were always available on the phone and e-mail.
