Hi, I am coming to Malaga Spain soon with my wife and 2 children and i have a few questions;

1] My wife is a bridal wear designer and wondered if there were many seamstresses that could do haute couture?

2] Would an aquarium/pond supplier be in demand and could you operate from a rural property?

3]Are there many organic food suppliers and can you buy directly from farms?

I've enjoyed reading eos for a couple of years and look forward to your replies.

Yes, there are shops which sell organic produce.

I think one can't generalise.  I have Spanish friends who grow organic food, indeed one of them, and I am talking years ago, went off to a course in growing ecological vegetables etc. - the course was held somewhere down Almuñecar way I think.  Maybe it depends where you live.  Certainly vegetarianism is no mystery in Spain. 

Here are some addresses:

 According to this it aint exactly thriving but not the point of the thread I just put it in as an extension to organic food

but as it started here we go

Spain used to be a vegetarian's nightmare with all those hanging hams and meaty tapas. Vegetarians had no option but to constantly opt for ensaladilla Rusa (the Russan-Spanish potato salad usually served as a tapa), tortilla (Spanish omelette), or the famous main course of huevos con patatas fritos (egg and chips), with the occasional greasy green pepper on the side.

If you were lucky there were seasonal or regional treats like setas (oyster mushrooms) fried with garlic, gazpacho, one of Andalucia's most famous culinary exports but usually only served here during the summer months, or if in Catalonia, pan con tomate, a delicious toast with fresh Spanish tomatoes, olive oil and garlic.

Often though, eating out in Andalucia and in Spain in general has been restrictive and depressing for vegetarians, enough to drive them back home to their own kitchens. Non-meat eaters were the definite minority in Andalucia.

The good news is that there is a gradual increase in the number of young Spaniards opting for a vegetarian diet and so, while the percentage is still low when compared to many other places in the world, the demand for meat-free menus is here - and growing!

Re the bridal wear, HarryFish, it might be an idea to attend a Trade Fair in Spain for bridal wear, for example in Barcelona.  It would give you an overview and perhaps you could make some contacts.

For example the Barcelona Trade Fair held in May.

El Salón Barcelona Bridal Week 2011, que aglutina el Salón Internacional Noviaespaña 2011 y la Pasarela Gaudí Novias 2011, en el Recinto Gran Vía de la Fira Barcelon, los días 10 al 15 de mayo de 2011.

I see another one was held and is no doubt held each year in Granada:  in February

Thank you campana and janie for the info.

Janie, i realise the economy is depressed but we will be supplying the international wholesale market and require skilled dressmakers we would prefer to manufacture in spain rather than eastern europe or china.
