All foreigners have the same right as Spaniards to emergency medical treatment in public
hospitals. EU citizens are entitled to the full range of health-care services in public hospit-
als, but must present a European Health Insurance Card (enquire at your national health
service) and may have to pay upfront.
Non-EU citizens have to pay for anything other than emergency treatment. Most travel-
insurance policies include medical cover.
