Hi Chiceyboy

Alcudia hmmmmm a man with taste I assume you mean on the glorious Mallorca island ?
Lots of the Villas have flash wrought iron double gates and stuff so there is the demand , unsure if you could break into it or not , i will be over there next week or so and will have a nose for you if you like see whats in the phone book and stuff

Welcome to the forum by the way ..

Now promise not to laugh. The wife works in the automated gates and barriers business and takes a keen interest in Spanish instalations, she is often seen on her hands and knees examining the workings of them.

From what she has told me the automated end of the business is the place to be, she has been less than impressed with some of the Spanish instalations. The Spanish think nothing of automating a pair of old manual gates, they have a love for external sliders and all in all are way behind the UK market.

Good luck.

Just about EVERY Spanish village has a CERAJERO. Some are good but many are cheap & cheerful because most Spaniards wont (cant afford to?) PAY. That said recently I've seen a couple of "shops" up for sale around us.

Lot's of folk starting to buy kits and do it themselves - this was unknown about 10years ago. My neighbour did his last year. he also made his own gate - but that's extreme I'll admit.

Sensible man Rentals will scare the whatsit out of you at the moment as they will show holiday rates .. I will see what i have in my files from my research a while ago..
I am on the other side the island Porto Christo , not so busy , but i know Alcudia well been going there for years, and even looked at buying there but something you should be aware off !! Near the back and by the lakes is like Mozzie hell , they dont tell you that on the glossy brochures .. But is a problem specially end of summer months . here in porto Christo no probs

So how set on Alcudia region ?
