Selling gold on the Costa Blanca
Local forums for Torrevieja and the wider Costa Blanca regularly have residents asking “where's the best place to sell gold jewellery?” — the honest answer is that it depends on which shop you walk into, since prices for the same weight and purity can differ noticeably. MetalMap exists so you can compare first.
Before you sell
- Ask for each piece to be weighed and its purity checked separately.
- Compare at least two buyers' published percentage of the market price.
- A broken or unfashionable piece is worth exactly the same by weight.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I sell gold in Alicante or the Costa Blanca?
There are gold buyers throughout Alicante, Torrevieja, Benidorm and the surrounding Costa Blanca towns. Prices vary between them, so it's worth comparing what each one actually offers — as a percentage of the market rate — before choosing.
Do gold buyers on the Costa Blanca deal with English speakers?
Yes, this is one of Spain's largest British and Northern European expat regions, and many local buyers are used to English-speaking customers. The price comparison itself — weight, purity, percentage offered — doesn't require Spanish either way.
How is the price for my gold calculated?
By weight and purity (karat). A serious buyer weighs each piece on a certified scale in front of you, shows the day's market price, and offers a clear percentage of it — not a vague guess.
Does it matter if my jewellery is old or broken?
No — the piece is melted down regardless, so only its weight and purity matter. A broken chain or single earring is worth the same as an intact piece of equal weight.
