Here is our handy guide for Formula, Food and Nappies in Spain:

Popular brands (sometimes they have a different name in Spanish)

Aptamil in Spain is known as Almiron

You will see that this has the exact same packaging, but please check our photos below as even though they are meant to be the same, they do have different ingredients to the UK Version.

You can get this brand in most pharmacies or CarreFour if you have one close by.

Pampers in Spain is known as Dodot

Travel 4 Baby’s top tips:

• Local pharmacies can often order products for next day delivery if they aren’t currently in stock.
• The best supermarkets to purchase baby products in Spain are; Mercadona, HiperDino, HiperTrebol, CarreFour, Spar, Lidl, El Corte Ingles and Iceland Overseas supermarkets. We recommend you check to see if one of these is close to your holiday accommodation before you travel. Also specific Uk products may be in limited supply.

• WANT TO BRING YOUR BABIES FORMULA AND FOOD FROM THE UK?

A little secret that not a lot of people know, is that you can prebook your required formula and baby food to be picked up at the airport in the departures lounge. This will therefore be part of your duty-free allowance. It will not be part of your baggage allowance and you will have already passed through security so you won’t have the issue with liquids. This service is unfortunately not available in all airports. It depends on if they have a Boots Chemist there. Hopefully this helps give you something to think about before selecting where you depart from. Please remember, if you book this service, make sure you select the after-security option, not before.

• Check Travel 4 baby Destination shops before you travel to see if any of these products can be pre ordered through us and delivered directly to your hotel.
