Important Information
CHEMISTS / FARMACIAS
These are called Farmacias. They are closed at weekends but there is always one that remains open in each town. To find out which one is on duty, see the rota on any chemists door. The pharmacists are usually very helpful, and can sometimes even recommend products that are only available on prescription in Britain.
