Default Quality flour and bread in Valencia?

Being Danish and a big bread lover I am struggling with the quality of bread here in Valencia where we've recently moved.

Does anyone know where to get "artisan" bread and/or flour in the area? I bake myself, but can't really do much with the flour on offer in Carrefour and the likes. Need higher quality and more choice than just industrial wheat flour.

Thanks!!

Herbolarios should be able to get good flour for you if they haven't already got it in stock. We get ours from
Harinas - Rincón del Segura
However, the minimum order is 20 - 35k. You could contact them and ask if there's a shop that stocks their stuff nearby.
Here's another link that might be interesting for you

And Carrefour do an eco flour, but I wouldn't say it was great

Great, thanks. Looks like quality stuff and there must be a supplier somewhere in Valencia. I'll ask them. I like good bread but it would take me a little while to get through 35 kg of flour (-:

That looks great too! Thanks. Carmen is just a few metro stops away so close enough to go and stock up on flour - I don't mind travelling a bit for the good stuff. And I am going to try that good looking bread too.

I can see they are also preparing an online bread shop. Very interesting if they start delivering fresh bread at a reasonable cost ...
