Documentation Requirements
Depending on your country of origin the required documentation can vary. If you come from a European country, the only documentation necessary is your National Identity Document.
For those from other countries, a current valid Passport is necessary, and this will allow you to stay in our country for 90 days. You should consult with the Spanish Consulate or Embassy in your country of residence to see whether a visa is also necessary.
Health
In the event of illness, you should attend one of the health centres (centro de salud) which can be found in every town, village and neighbourhood. If the illness is of a serious nature, you should go to the Casualty (Urgencias) department of one of the hospitals in the Region of Murcia.
If you come from a European country, you will need a European Health Card (Tarjeta Sanitaria Europea - TSE) in order to be attended. If you do not have one, you will be expected to pay the costs in the health centres and hospitals.
All medication prescribed by a doctor can be bought at any of the pharmacies in our region. The pharmacies are easily identifiable as they all have an illuminated green cross.
Currency
The currency used is the Euro (€), which comes in the form of eight different coins with the following values: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents and 1 and 2 euros. There are also seven different notes: 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 euros.
Foreign currency can be exchanged in any of the banks (bancos) or savings banks (cajas de ahorro), whose normal opening hours are 08:30 to 14:30 from Monday to Saturday. They close on Saturdays during the summer. Currency exchange can also take place in some hotels and travel agencies.
