Hi All
I.m off to Northern Spain in Aug for a wedding. I will be in Gijon mainly but will be touring.
Can any of you guys (or Gals) direct me to model shops in the area. It would save me time searching (and wifely ear bashing) LOL.

Many thanks in advance.
Yours
Chris Ferris. [email protected]

Chris - best possible place In Gijon, in the main shopping street in the center, is Hobby Manso there are one or two others but whether they're still there on not is debatable.

TECNIHOBBI, Calle Poeta Miguel Hernandez 5&6 Bajo 39610, El Astillero (Cantabria) Tel.942 544500. That might just be close enough for you, but if you plan to go into the Basque Country there are a couple of good ones in Vizcaya that have a catalogue on the net ,if yourè interested let me know & I`ll send you more details.
