    If you need just any Mylar-type (polyester) films...
    - Industrial supply companies sell them by forklift-load of rolls.
    - Drafting/art supply stores may have smaller sheets.
    - Overhead/inkjet transparencies (at least many of them) are polyester films. Some are specifically Mylars.

    Mylar is DuPont's trademark for certain polyester films. ICI (Melinex) and perhaps others have similar products. If it's for archival purposes, you'd want uncoated ones.

    Hi, if you cannot find anyone in Spain why not try Trioplus here in the UK. Their website is www.trioplus.co.uk. They sell various types of film.

    I don't know what the florists wrap the flowers with over there but I bought some of the clear film from a local florist and use it when I'm using P.O.P. If thats why you need it. This stuff is a lot thinner than the clear overhead projector sheets.
    Best wishes,
    Pete.

    Duralar is a generic equivalent you might ask for if you can't find Mylar. Places like Aztek.com may ship internationally although their prices are a bit high in my opinion.
