Language is one of the main barriers for expats who decide to live in Spain, as they often don’t speak the language well enough. This may not be too much of a problem on a day-to-day basis, but when it comes to health, it has a big impact.
Therefore, when taking out private health insurance, it is advisable to check whether the company has multilingual staff and whether its medical staff has centres that offer care in different languages to provide reassurance and peace of mind.
