Spain’s butane “bombona” canister hits four-year high as prices rise again

Spain's traditional orange butane bottle, known as the "bombona de butano," will see its price increase from €17.83 to a maximum of €18.84 starting Tuesday, September 15. This is a 4.96% rise, reaching the highest price in four years. The increase is due to higher international commodity costs, increased transport costs, and a temporary reduction in Spain's Hydrocarbons Tax.

The change is significant, with prices jumping €3.45 since May, a 22% rise in just four months. The regulated price, limited to a 5% increase at each two-month review, affects households using butane for cooking, heating, and domestic needs. British residents in Spain should note the new price when purchasing butane for their properties.
