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!
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Ahhhh, probably no luck for me here in Barcelona then. Thanks for the help!
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.
