Extra Tips for Travelers in Gran Canaria
A few practical things to know to make your stay in Gran Canaria stress-free when it comes to healthcare.
Always carry your passport
You will need it to purchase prescription medication at pharmacies in Spain. EU residents can also use their EHIC card for public health services.
Year-round sun protection
Unlike mainland Spain, Gran Canaria has warm sun even in winter. Apply SPF 50+ sunscreen every 2 hours regardless of the season, and reapply after swimming. Sunburn can happen in under 20 minutes.
Dunes and heat precautions
If you’re hiking or taking the cable car up the central highlands, be aware of altitude sickness symptoms — headache, nausea, fatigue, dizziness. Ascend slowly, stay hydrated, and contact us if symptoms are severe.
Farmacias throughout the island
Look for the green cross sign. A rotating “farmacia de guardia” is always open 24 hours in major resort areas. Your hotel can direct you to the nearest one.
Avoid self-medicating
Antibiotics require a prescription in Spain. Always consult a doctor first — our consultation takes 15 minutes and gives you a valid digital prescription immediately.
Official health guidance
For official travel health information for Spain, visit the Ministerio de Sanidad or your country’s travel advisory page before your trip.
