Spain consistently ranks among the safest destinations globally, with an excellent healthcare system that meets international standards. While travelers can feel secure, we strongly recommend obtaining comprehensive travel health insurance. Medical expenses for foreign visitors can be substantial, and having the right coverage ensures peace of mind throughout your journey.

Our team at Kineticca advises travelers to:

• Verify that your insurance covers medical treatments in Spain
• Understand the extent of your policy’s international coverage
• Consider emergency medical evacuation as part of your insurance plan

European Union citizens can benefit from the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), which provides access to state-provided healthcare at reduced costs or sometimes for free. However, this doesn’t replace comprehensive travel insurance and may not cover all potential medical expenses.

Here’s a basic safety checklist:

Register with embassy (US STEP program, UK LOCATE)

Get travel health insurance

Make digital and physical copies of important documents

Pack any necessary medication

Bring prescription in generic name

European Health Insurance Card (for EU citizens)

Emergency numbers:

• Emergency services: 112
• Police: 091
• Ambulance: 061 

No specific vaccinations are required for entry into Spain. However, travelers should ensure routine vaccinations are up to date. For personalized health advice, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before traveling.
