English Doctor in Cadaqués —
The Most Remote Spot on the Costa Brava
Cadaqués is the most iconic and most isolated destination on the Costa Brava — the whitewashed fishing village where Salvador Dalí spent summers, where artists and pilgrims still arrive by the winding mountain road or by boat. Its remoteness is part of the magic. But it also means that Hospital de Figueres is 65 km and 1 hour of hairpin bends away. For anything short of an emergency, TravelDoctores provides a licensed English-speaking GP online in 15 minutes — saving you a treacherous mountain drive when you’re already unwell.
- ✓Fast GP consultations from your hotel, rental, or boat — without the 1h hospital drive
- ✓Tourists visiting Cadaqués, Portlligat, and Cap de Creus Natural Park
- ✓Visitors dealing with jellyfish stings, hiking injuries from Cap de Creus trails, or motion sickness
- ✓Travelers who need care without a Spanish health card
- ✓Artists, writers, and long-stay visitors who need prescription refills
- ✓Digital nomads and boat travellers anchored in the bay
- ✓Official medical certificates for insurance claims, if required

TravelDoctores had a doctor on video in 12 minutes, prescription ready, and I picked up the drops in the village pharmacy. Perfect.”— Peter A., tourist in Cadaqués

Health Tips for Tourists in Cadaqués
Cadaqués’s remoteness is beautiful — but it demands a little more preparation. These tips can help you stay safe and respond quickly.
Prepare for the mountain road
The N-260 access road to Cadaqués has over 50 tight hairpin bends through the Cap de Creus mountains. If you’re prone to motion sickness, take antiemetic medication before your drive. Our doctors can prescribe appropriate medication for your return journey if needed.
Check the pharmacy hours on arrival
Cadaqués has one pharmacy in the village. Check its current opening hours when you arrive — in low season, hours are limited. For out-of-hours prescriptions, the nearest farmacia de guardia is in Roses (27 km). Plan prescription pickup accordingly.
Jellyfish around the cape in summer
The waters around Cap de Creus are exceptional for snorkelling but jellyfish are present from June to September. Rinse stings with seawater, apply cold, and consult us online if reactions worsen. Do not use vinegar on Mediterranean jellyfish stings.
Cap de Creus hiking safety
The Cap de Creus headland trails are beautiful but exposed and rocky. Wear proper hiking shoes, carry at least 2 litres of water, and avoid the most exposed trails in midday heat. The terrain is remote — an injury far from the village means a long wait for help.
Know the distance to hospital
Hospital de Figueres is 65 km away — approximately 1 hour of mountain roads. For anything non-life-threatening, use TravelDoctores first to assess whether in-person care is truly needed. For emergencies, call 112 immediately — do not drive yourself.
