Emergencies

You can expect local residents to be helpful if you have an emergency. For assistance, dial the pan-European emergency phone number 112, which can connect you to an English-speaking operator. Otherwise, dial the emergency numbers below for national police, local police, fire department, or medical services. On the road, there are emergency phones at frequent regular intervals on autovías and autopistas. They are marked S.O.S.

If your documents are stolen, contact both the police and your consulate or embassy . If you lose a credit card, phone the issuer immediately .

To find out which pharmacies are open late at night or 24 hours on a given day, look on the door of any pharmacy or in any local newspaper under "Farmacias de Guardia" or dial 010.
