Where to buy permethrin (for clothes) in Spain?

Hello Camino folks!

First off, thanks for all of the quality advice these forums provide - I haven't posted before, but have gotten a lot out of reading other people's discussions.

I just finished the Camino Frances and had an amazing time. I'm in Barcelona currently and am leaving for Thailand tomorrow. I'd really like to treat my clothing with permethrin to decrease mosquito bites and am having a hard time finding somewhere that sells permethrin for this purpose (rather than as a cream for topical application for lice or scabies). I tried Decathalon and a pharmacy and so far no luck.

I know there's some debate around permethrin and bedbugs (a frequent topic!) and you folks seem so knowledgable about that I thought I'd try asking here. And as other pilgrims seem to be interested in permethrin treatment, maybe this thread will provide them with some useful information as well - I search the archives for this question and didn't have any luck.

Thanks in advance!
 
Perfect memento/gift in a presentation box. Engraving available, 25 character max.
Ahhhh, probably no luck for me here in Barcelona then. Thanks for the help!
