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.

 

[MendiWalker]

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

 

[Anne100]

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

 

[MendiWalker]

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

 

[Anne100]

Are there Carrefour stores along the Norte?

 

[MendiWalker]

I live in Bilbo and there are a couple in town. There are found in Donosti as well.

 

[Anne100]

That's great, thanks, everyone!

 

[MendiWalker]

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!
