Repsol has the monopoly of selling gas bottles in Spain. These orange bottles cannot be changed in another country and foreign bottles cannot be changed or filled up.
It is nearly impossible for foreigners to buy a Repsol bottle in Spain:
For you'll have to draw up a contract, need photocopy of your ID, and need a certificate of an aproved technician who will have made a prior inspection your installation. (to be arranged in preparation of drawing up the contract). The contract alone will cost you about 80€ + inspection fees. The whole procedure could take 2 weeks (in Spanish standards = 2 months or mañana...)
I got this hint from another Belgian who got it from a Spanish camping owner:
Go to one of these gipsy- or lumbermarkets which are held in various places sunday morning and buy an (empty) bottle for about 8€.
Have it filled up, or changed, in an official Repsol station. And of you go.
When you leave Spain sell it back to another MH-er...
