Food Shops and Organic
Some health food shops around the city hold a small stock of organic but often pricey baby foods and formula. If you don't find what you are looking for, ask, as you may sometimes be able to place regular orders at you local store. Some of the larger organic food stores that have a range of baby foods are listed below. You can also try the International food stores for any much loved foods from home.
For general baby foods and toiletries, you will find what you need in supermarkets which stock their own labels and familar brands. Dodot is the equivalent of Pampers in Spain although own brands can often be just as good. Baby formula and food products in Spain can contain a lot more unwanted sugars and salt than you are normally used to and sometimes even honey so check the labels.
Pharmacies also have a range of jars, cereals and nappies in a limited range of brands. In an after-hours emergency you will find a list of on-duty pharmacies on any pharmacy door or see List of 24 hr Pharmacies in Barcelona.
