Will I need to travel to see a specialist?
When we asked members in Spain if they typically need to travel to see specialists, they replied...
"The cities of Barcelona, Madrid, and Valencia all have a wide selection of different levels of specialists. In addition, the region of Andalusia is renowned for having some of the top medical professionals in the country. Major cities within Andalusia such as Seville and Granada are especially known as excellent locations to find highly specialized care.
