You could also consider ordering from a Canadian or Indian pharmacy.

In Spain the drug is known as Adolonta however, which means you can get it here. See more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tramadol

You can usually buy meds over the counter in a pharmacy in Spain.Make sure you take the original packet with you and find an english speaking pharmacy.
