EMERGENCIES

General Emergency Services number in Spain: 112

The most important number to remember is 112, the Spanish emergency services number and their equivalent of 999. Note that the operators can speak English.

The type of emergency could be (but not limited to) any of the following:

• Car accidents
• Fire
• Health assistance
• Physical aggressions

If you are making your home in Spain you should also note that by law Spanish taxi drivers are obligated to transport medical emergencies to hospital when asked to do so.

Misuse of this system will result in a heavy fine.
