Barcelona health
EU nationals are entitled to make use of the Spanish state health service, provided they have an E111 form or the new EU electronic social security card. For short-term visitors however it's usually simpler to take out private travel insurance before departure, especially in non-emergency cases. This will also normally cover you for stolen or lost cash or valuables as well as medical costs. For visitors from non-EU countries emergency treatment will be given, but it is a good idea to have some kind of medical insurance.
In a medical emergency, it is best to go to the casualty department ("urgencies") of any of the main hospitals. They are all open 24 hours daily, and these are two of the most important ones, both centrally located:
