Just wondering what availability is like to refill down there as I'm concerned it might be cold enough to use all my 105 ltr onboard tank?

 

I doubt it will be that cold to some-one who lives in Scotland ! I think you will find it warm enough to wear shorts.If you think you need it, take a fan heater with you, always useful . Any way enjoy your trip

Perhaps worth mentioning that the “EuroNozzle" LPG filling-adapter is commonly used in Spain

On-line comments suggest that Spanish service-stations having autogas pumps with EuroNozzle pump-guns may be prepared to lend a EuroNozzle adapter to someone without one.

 

The original genuine-article EuroNozzle adapter has an integrated one-way valve (Example here)

but significantly cheaper ‘valve-less’ adapters are also marketed (Example here)

You suggesting it's colder up here than down there? Always carry a Dyson!

In addition to the Fuengirola lpg station mentioned, I know of two others in the Malaga area. One is in Malaga itself and the other at Torr del Mar. Further along the coast there is one at Motril.

 

At the moment you hardly need use any gas for heating. We are experiencing one of our best winters so far.

The Vicarious book of Iberian Aires has details of lpg stations and their lat & long.

 

We find the adapter without a non return valve works better as there is already a non return valve in the inlet and sometimes the double valve effect can make filling very slow or even prevent it at all if the supply tank is a bit low on pressure and it is a cold day.

 

Days might be warm enough but winter nights can be flippin' cold in all parts of Spain - even the Med coast - so being prepared is no bad idea!

 

Have a safe trip.
