Conversational tip If you want an everyday bar of soap or a
tube of toothpaste, you need to go to a droguería (drugstore) rather
than the farmacia (pharmacy). The pharmacy). The pharmacy estanco (tobacconist) is the place
for all sorts of tobacco products and stamps. Papelerías cater for all
your stationery needs. Most Spanish shops offer a free gift-wrapping
service; you only need to ask: ¿Me lo envuelve para regalo?
(May I have it gift-wrapped?).
