I'd start with caustic soda - Sosa cáustica. 

Available from ferrets, chinos, and some supermarkets, e.g. Mercadona SOSA CAUSTICA PERLAS, BOSQUE VERDE, BOTE 1 KG €2.95, although I'm sure it will be cheaper in a chino.

Agua Fuerte. But be careful because its ACID.  Do not use in the basin as it will discolour the stainless plug hole.

Thats true, but depending what the blockage is, not much else will move it.

I have a "Karcher" power washer, I  bought a jetter connection for it, you insert the pipe into the blocked drain and it will shift almost anything without the need to call a drain specialist , it's saved the day many times.
