Marbella Real Estate - questions and answers

An important factor for many people who move to Spain is the national healthcare system. In Spain the actual health care is very similar to the UK and is available to all European citizens. If you are of retirement age or over, then you are even entitled to free health care in Spain. The public health system is free or low cost if you pay social security (families and retirees are also included).

Even if you are under the public health care system it is still advisable to have private health insurance in order to skip the waiting lists and receive treatment quickly. The most popular private health plans are Adeslas and Sanitas. To give you an idea, the average monthly medical premium for a 30-year old male starts around €38 per month; for females it’s a bit a higher at roughly €50 per month.
