When you leave for any country other than your own, especially for holidays, there are a lot of precautions that you should take to ensure that you stay safe and healthy.

Knowing the emergency numbers is an important thing. When in Spain for holiday, you are in a safe zone although we all know that crime can easily happen anywhere in the world regardless of how safe the country is considered to be.

The emergency number you can use while in Spain is actually 11. It may operate in some areas within Spain although not in all. It is very important that you find out the operative numbers in the area you are visiting as a precaution, we can never predict what will happen. Get numbers for the fire department, the local police and national police as well as for medical services. In this way you will be able to get help 24 hours a day.

If you are on the road, look out for some emergency phones. They are usually marked as SOS. They are usually on freeways and are distributed at intervals that are quite regular. They are also found on toll highways. It is very important to report the loss of documents to your country’s embassy as well as local police to avoid trouble and also to get assistance. On loss of a credit card, make contact with the card company immediately. In this way, they will be able to block your card or give you directions on what to do.

The illnesses that are most common in Spain are those related to food poisoning. Water and food can easily be contaminated. Make sure that the food that you are having is actually well cooked and eat it while it is still hot and fresh. Do not eat fruits without washing them yourself. You may even find it better to peel them on your own to be sure of the hygiene.

When you have a mild case of diarrhea, you may opt to use Imodium or even Pepto-Bismol. They have been known to work effectively. Take a lot of fluids too but if the symptoms do not stop, it is very wise to seek medical attention immediately.

Diseases can be airborne too. Ticks and mosquitoes have also been known to pass infections. You are therefore at risk when in contact with people or even animals. Some that affect the digestive system can be passed through food. Condoms may protect you from sexually transmitted ailments but they are not 100% safe. Check on health alerts before travelling to Spain with the WHO or CDC. Be keen especially if you are expectant or traveling with children.
