Where can I buy mosquito netting ( to cut to size if possible )?

Looking especially in the Las Chafiras area or los cris/pdla.

Strange question - are you planning on taking it back to Ireland?  I would think probably El Kilo and there are branches in most towns. 

No,I would be using it there and leaving it behind me.  I've been looking on line at accommodation. The apts without air con are up to €250 euro a week cheaper than the ones with. We could save a fortune and maybe even stay in Los Cris/PDLA areas if we could use mosquito netting around the window frames and leave the windows open at night.

Meant to add, Eileen doesn't like the portable air con units. They are too noisy for her.

Anyone know what the Spanish term for mosquito netting would be?

you can buy a house for €40,000 ..

Thanks Gypsy!

moscas is spanish for big fly
oh no it dont - 30c is about the max
dont eat meat - they can smell the animal on your skin ..
thry why i live here - not to cold in winter - not to hot in the summer (and 7% vat)

Take a roll of net curtain and some tape with you, DIY  as soon as you get in the apartment,
We dont have it and never been asked about it

20c is hot. 30c is fecking boiling especially indoors.

Thats not a bad suggestion Reg. might just do that!

Never used air-con in all the times I've stayed in Tenerife Dermo. Never bothered with mosquito netting either!

We don´t have air con, never felt the need a ceiling fan is more than sufficient, but I do understand about the mossie netting as I get bitten quite badly.  We have it on our bedroom windows as I always leave the windows open.  I think it is a good idea about the net curtain.  You will be able to pick some up in the charity shops for a few pennies and then a few tacks to keep it in place - sorted. 

If you are clever you can avoid the buggers because it is only the females that bite .... so do a bit of mossie spotting / sexing before you get here

Did you leave the windows open at night? We did that last year and got bitten badly even with the mosquito repellant plugged in

I'll bear that in mind. Can just picture myself at 4am chasing a mozzie about the room with a magnifying glass!

sometimes I did have them open just a wee bit. . I usually react very badly to bites but the last time we were there i was not too bad for them attacking me.

I purchased some yesterday at the ferretia in Guagaucho just up the road from the market, 1 metre x 1.5 metre, and the cost was only 1 euro 91 cents.

Where is that Lucky, the bus station in Los Cris??

Dermo he said it was Guagaucho just up the road from the market.

Guargacho is just up from Costa del Silencio...
