Doctor appointment
Do I need to book an appointment at Garrucha or does the medical centre accept walk ins during Covid restrictions.
Anyone know the telephone number and do they speak English?

If you want to see the doctor or nurse you need an appointment. You can make them the Salud responde app. Or you can queue at reception, wearing a mask and socially distanced to make an appointment.
Sometimes the app has no appointments, either physical or telephone in which case you'll have to go to the medical center.
No they don't speak English (although the doctor does). They are just like doctors receptionists everywhere I have ever been. They hey go to a special training centre (imho) 🙄🙄. Be brave, use your best Spanish, and you will get what you need. Alternatively, you can try asking them to use

953011080 but that might be in the,'too difficult box' or get someone who speaks Spanish to ring them. Good luck K
Thank you. I think I'll just queue and take Google translate with me.
