Hand sanitizer?

vinotinto · Mar 3, 2011

When I did the Camino Frances in 2007, I tried to replenish my supply of hand sanitizer (alcohol-based gel/moisturizer) at a farmacia. However, the person behind the counter told me that Spain didn't have such a product. Anyone know if that's still the case in 2011?
