Barcelona: Land of the Farmacias (pharmacies)
Posted by Paul in Europe, Random, SpainMar 23rd, 2009 | 3 responses
Not sure why but every block in Barcelona seems to have 1 or more Farmacias (pharmacies). The odd thing is all drugs, even Tylenol (called panacetamol here) is kept behind the counter. They have probably have more pharmacies per block than Vancouver/Seattle has Starbucks! (editor’s note: Starcrack anyone?)
Drugs are considerably cheaper here than in Canada. Mainly because there is no dispensing fees and the drugs do not have brand names like Tylenol or Advil.

The McDonald’s became a staple once Paul got food poisoned
