NEW THREAD - LOOKING FOR SPANISH SOAP
 

I would be grateful if someone can lead me to a website for a Spanish Soap I purchased in Spain. Smells wonderful and lasts a long time, the wrapping colour is black and red an I searched high and low in the States, cannot find it! <BR> <BR>Please help! Thank you!

I remember a thread on madridman.com about Spanish soap (and also toothpaste and deodorant, if memory serves). If you run a search on the MB there you should be able to find it quickly.

Sounds like the packaging for "Maja" . a geranium scent maybe. I see it frequently at Marshalls if there is one near you.

Thanks, I will check out the website??? <BR>Madridman.com???? It could be Maja but I'm surprised they have it here in the states. Thanks

Here's a url to a site with the Maja picture and order form , I'd still try Marshall's i think it was about 6.00 a box there this morning. <BR> <BR>http://www.thesoapopera.com/Checkout....cgi/?mode=cgi

Traveller, <BR>Your soap with the black and red wrapping "Maja" is made by Myrurgia (maker of myrrh). I would too search at Marshalls, (Thanks for the great tip JOdy-I've just never thought to look at it at mine). if you have one nearby, the price will be much cheaper, or you can purchase through www.tienda.com, where a 3 bar box goes for $12.75. <BR>You can also order Maja (3 bars for a very expensive $16!) from "The Spanish Table" in Seattle, a wonderful resource for a myriad of Spanish products, including soaps, bath gels, saffron, every type of food product imaginable, paella pans, cookbooks, ceramics, earthenware "cazuelas", CDs, maps, flags, travel guides-the list goes on and on and on...I was there last weekend and was truly amazed by the vast quanity of Spanish products the owner, Steve Winston manages to bring in to his store. I did too much damage to my poor credit card but could have stayed for hours! It's a one stop source (although a pricey one) for everything wonderful that Spain exports, if there are other items you miss from España. <BR>Check www.tablespan.com

Thanks Maribel. I could not remember Myrugia!!!! we used to sell it in a pharmacy where i worked about 40 years ago!!!!!!!we had the most fantastic cosmetic department there , I could have spent my whole pharmacist's pay check

If you live in the NYC region, Cosmetic Plus stores also carries Maja soap. The other black soap from Spain, which I use, is called Magno, but the box is generally black and white, and it has very little scent.

Hmm... It's nice to know that I'm not the only Maja junkie around.. <BR> I have found Maja at Long's drug stores from time to time...if you don't see it, ask the buyer? I've done this successfully a couple of times but it's not exactly a hot-seller here so I have to remind them. It IS expensive but because it's hard-milled it lasts a long time.. <BR> *sigh* brings back great memories of the year I lived there, which, my children continually remind me, was around the time that the cave paintings were still drying... <BR>=)
