Plantyflor – Florist in Almuñécar

Run by Francisco, there is always a good selection of potted plants and both natural and artificial flowers. I should know a good deal more about the potted plants as Di doesn’t seem to be able to pass the place without coming away with a new pot and contents to adorn our balcony.
