I think people just get used to sending stuff out [when it's dry-cleaning'> and doing the rest at home. After all, white goods are fairly inexpensive here and just about all villas and apartments [in the expat zones at least'> have internal laundries or space for washers/dryers.
And in summer, well ... !! I can do a load of washing in the morning, stick it on the line and hey presto! It's dry less than an hour later. :D
Thanks both! It is weird that they aren't around. I guess it's because there are affordable laundry services... problem is you have to wait 48 hours as far as I understand? Would be useful to just pop to a laundromat and be able to take your load back home with you.
I've not seen one in this area, but could be wrong.
The closest you might get is having to drop off a 'bag wash' to one of the dry-cleaning places.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
