I think salad cream is a purely British thing therefore the only one available here would be Heinz. Certainly, the only one that Iceland sells is Heinz and I've seen it in Gama, Mas y Mas and I'm pretty sure a couple of other places.

Noticed it in Consum as well today. Heinz only but they also had the sandwich spread version
I think the Spanish would stick to Mayonnaise or Aoili (branded Alioli).
There are, however, loads of recipes to make your own salad cream if you Google it.

(Remember the Fawlty Towers sketch? Our chef is a whizz at twisting the top of the bottle on salad cream.)

YES!! There's stuff you get in jars in LIDL, its called "Salsa Ligera" its basically a thicker version of Hienz salad cream. It looks liek salad cream and pretty much tastes like it, just thicker.

Really? It's actually a light mayonnaise and we have used it. Can't say it has the vinegary taste I associate with salad cream.
