I know this is very broad. I'm thinking really about pharmaceuticals or beauty products. Anything worth buying that we can't get here or that's cheaper in Spain?

Sibella moisturiser from Mercadona

Tretinoin
HRT
I buy these when I'm there. Just a little HRT just in case there's a dip in supply here. Tret as it's so much cheaper.

For spain you could literally book an application with a dr and get a prescription of what you need. Super easy.

It is.

Get the AntiOx range from Mercadona.

Paprika and hrt.

Gentamicin in drops for the eyes in case of thick and sticky conjunctivitis. Believe me, a life saver.

zara stuff is cheaper there. Slightly.

I buy roasted corn, pipas Tijuana and horchata.

My list is pretty big but that depends on what you like and use.

If you have kids mine LOVE the dinosaur biscuits. Dinosauras by Artiach.
But like most things you can get them on Amazon. A friend asked me to get her four boxes of paella spice. I forgot - but you can get that too on Amazon so that's what I did 😬.

I paid €20 approximately in a pharmacy for it when i was in Spain a couple of months ago.
I didn't shop around and just got it in the nearest one to me.
