Ann I think Tenerife maybe a long swim for it but I have hopes !

Wen Mojacar isn't that far from me ......well about 150 K across a few mountains at mazzeron

Perhaps you could copy the Moroccans? Buy a tagine, bury it (and its contents) in the warm earth - and wait.

It will cook, but slowly. But then that's what a slow cooker does, isn't it?

Or you could try www.exportappliances.com They do slow cookers, but you'd need to make an enquiry about the price with delivery

I will have a look at the larger Carrefours next week to see if I kind find one, I know they didn't used to but had hoped that somewhere would now ( without paying charges ! ) I will be lost without one as I use it all the time.

Know how you feel without a slow cooker.I took one to Spain in the 1990's,and I did buy a new one in Continente as it was then.I'm surprised that Carrefours don't stock them.
could you have a look on Ebay to see if anyone is selling a good one and would deliver?
Maybe a smaller hardware shop may stock them instead of the big chains?

Well Aldi in Germany would have sold them, I'm sure... not a lot of help, that, is it?

Can someone not send you one out? What would the post and suchlike be?

Daff a few years ago when I converted others to the slow cooker method all came from the UK.
I have checked 3 of our major stores and NO slow cookers.
