I have been stuck in the UK

since July and my driving licence expires on 15 March. I need to book a medical appointment in Garrucha. I assume I will have to call them. Does anyone have their number or email? No idea after this how to renew it and my gestor has not been of much help. Hoping I can book a flight that does not get cancelled again. Any advice would be very much appreciated. TIA

The centre on the seafront near the townhall is 950460630 or 626634351 or [email protected] for the medical and they are open Mon,Thur,Fri 11.30-02.00pm and Tues-Wed 05.00pm -07.30pm if that is of any help. they do the photograph on line when you attend and you need all your medical prescription details if you have any for the doc. Cost approx €50

just attend the appointment at the centre they do everything necessary i.e. medical details and photograph done on line there. obviously you'll need your old licence to hand in and they give you paper cover for the time it takes for the new one to arrive by post to your address. my husbands took a couple of weeks.
