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!
 
Best lightweight pocket guides
Ideal pocket guides for during and after your Camino. Each weighs just 40g (1.4 oz).
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.

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.

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.
