Hi,

I've read some posts about pepper spray and its legality in Spain. I'm more interested in wasp/bear spray.

Can I buy wasp spray or bear spray in Madrid? Where?

Thanks
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Please don't take wasp or bear spray on the Camino?
I am not even sure if it is legal, but it is certainly unnecessary, imo.
 
I've never heard of someone having an encounter with bears on the camino. Or wasps for that matter, although I suppose they must be about somewhere.

wasp spray.
My can of wasp spray is the most toxic chemical in my house! It has many warnings about using it in closed spaces and getting it on your skin (there is always a spray back from any aerosol). Do you want it for bears and wasps?
 
When I read this question I thought how strange, bears and wasps aren't a danger on the Camino! Then my friend Mr Google explained that some people carry bear spray (like mace but much stronger) or wasp spray (a neurotoxin) for personal self defense. Against human beings. What a simply horrifying thought. I wouldn't want to be sharing a dorm with someone carrying this stuff if it accidentally released.

Or is this question perhaps an example of what's known as trolling? Mr Google was helpful with a definition of that too....

Hi, could you clarify if you need the spray for wasps, bears or humans, so we can assist more with the query?
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Why not leave the chemicals home and just get a pair of the undies making the rounds, negatively, on the web: undies by Ar Wear. Yes, AR as anti-rape. The modern day chastity belt.
