Spanish alternative to Gehwol blue?

Camino Frances July 2022
Hi- I have been slathering Gehwol Blue foot cream on to my feet each night on all of my Caminos. My feet seem to love it and happy feet make me happy.

I am currently on the Frances, after finishing the Via Podiensis, and am down to my last tube. I have about 3 weeks left so will need to get something locally.

I know Gehwol is not available in pharmacies in Spain but am wondering if anyone has found something similar that is readily available in Spain? I will be in Leon in 2 days.

Tldr: Looking for a restorative foot cream that also moisturizes and makes my feet smell nice.

Thanks!
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
I cannot for the life of me remember the name, but there is at least one in a tube, 'de toda la vida'. Ask in any proper farmacia. Explain, and show the tube you have. The essential information will be there on the tube. Buen camino.

There is a distributor in Spain.


Good luck! Gehwol is super indeed.
 
Holoholo automatically captures your footpaths, places, photos, and journals.
In France, I used a brand called Nok as an alternative, which was excellent. I‘m not sure if it’s available in Spain, too.
 
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.
Saltratos, NOK (as suggested above - BTW just used NOK on my TMB attempt; was easy to get since we were in France) or SportSalil which is what I used on my Camino

Good luck and Buen "Pies felices" Camino
 
A little late for me but I did just stumble across a souvenir shop in Palas de Rei selling Gehwol foot cream (not the blue, however)!

It's right across from restaurant Xeou.
