You can buy straw bales from nanta, they sell all animal feed stuffs. It is on the polygon round the back of Ravel de crist. opposite the chemist there is a small road go down the road it is on the right about 150 yards. Hope this helps :D

Hi
Out of interest would you mind telling us how much you pay per bale? I have been charged everything between 3.50 and 15euros a bale. Thought it might be interesting to know how much they are in bulk.

We pay about 6 euros a bale , sometimes 6.50, but they are big bales not like the standard English size, Two types available Paja avena (oat straw) good quality the horses love it, or wheat straw no good for feeding but ok for bedding, usually a bit cheaper.
They also sell it at Soldebre, but it isn't such good quality. this time of year the quality does vary though.

You probably know this but they sell them at Damm down by the river in Amposta but I don't know how much they are.
