Is it available in Spain? Please tell me I don't have to carry two big heavy tubes of toothpaste with me when I begin my camino.

It sure is but why carry two ?? Just buy along the way as you need not only toothpaste but what ever you need.

I'd only need to carry two tubes if it isn't available there.

You're "sure it is" meaning you purchased it in Spain?

I use this toothpaste at home but I have never seen it in Spain except in the odd place when I was walking the Via de la Plata. Never saw it on the Camino Frances route

It´s a brand which is advertised on Spanish TV but you might have to try the local chemist though.
Buen Camino!

I just checked and it looks like you might be able to buy it at the Carrefour grocery stores - probably in the major centres like Burgos and Leon for example

No thanks needed Anne. That´s what the forum.
Buen Camino!

Readily available, in many, if not all, supermarket chains - Eroski, El Arbol, El Corte Ingles, etc. I spent three months in Spain this year and had no trouble re-stocking.

Anne,
If the worst comes to the worst and you don't find the Sensodyne you could always neglect your feet, that should take your mind off any sensitive tooth.

I used to use Sensodyne but did some research and found this product (Ecodent) worked even better and one small bottle will easily last the whole trip:

No I don't work nor own this company BTW but within a month of using it my sensitive teeth are no more plus its cheap, super lightweight and a little goes a long way. My husband and I plan to being only one on our Camino and should be plenty!
