Telescope shops in Andalucia

[jgianni]

Hi, I'm a British ex-pat in southern Spain :sunny: I'm trying to find a decent telescope shop (Celestron/Meade stockist) but having problems. Just wondered if anyone might know of any? I live in Cómpeta (between Malaga and Granada) so anywhere in that vicinity would be ideal but I'd travel further if I had to. If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated... I know a bit of long-shot but you never know

Cheers guys, Madrid and Barcelona are a bit far from me. Strange that a region the size of Andalucia with such great skies has a lack of a decent shop selling 'scopes. Maybe a market for somebody...

Hi I live in Riogordo and there is a shop in Malaga that sells telescopes and I guess peripherals, There is also another in Alhaurin del Grande the other side of the airport.

If you happen to be in Granada city, have a word with Leonardo at Alarcon I bought my 12 inch Dob from him a year or two back. If the website doesn't have what you want, call / email as he can probably order it.

I find it's much easier to pick stuff up from a shop like this (even though it's 120km each way: a 3 hour drive) than to wait for one of the local couriers to phone up, often days after their delivery deadline and tell me they can't find my house -- and won't deliver to it even when I give them directions.
