Thomsons brickwork waterproofing was not available when I looked 5 years ago.  I got someone to bring 2 cans out in a van.

when I asked in Monte a year ago or so ago I was told that there are two main types of paint, Plastico and Elastico and that Elastico was water resistant, I painted the exterior of the property with it, and it is still fine. make of that what you want.

Monto's in Caleta do a variety of products for sealing stonework and brickwork that are not paints. Go and have a chat with the guys and they will recommend the right product for the job. I use Monto's Fachadas Uno Barniz Ladrillo   (Facades One Brick varnish) which can be watered down but I use it neat. Hope that helps.
