Hi Neil and Chris - just a thought, but you might get a better response to your question if you post it on the Huerta Nueva part of the Almeria site www.costaalmeria.com or the viva site www.viva-almeria.com
They have people using the sites who have been living in Spain for years so might be able to help. I do know that there was a lot of excitement when the Ikea opened, so I think there may not be anything like that close to us.
Good luck with the search!!!!!!
