I have looked back thru postings and cannot find an up-to-date answer, so apologies if this is duplicated.  We  will be coming to Los Gallardos in April  for about 8 weeks and may need some prescription meds.  Are they still available at Spanish pharmacies with a valid prescription?  Unfortunately it is getting difficult to get everything we need in the UK.  We have no problem in paying for them if necessary.  Thank you in advance........Elaine Tucker

You cannot buy antibiotics in the pharmacy any more, also they wont honour a UK prescription, your best bet is to either bring what you need with you, or go and see a private doctor when you get to spain, There is one in Mojacar and Albox.
