There is a special medical agreement if you’re coming from Spain, France and Andorra. This agreement assures that, in case of emergency, all visitors from these countries might have a refund of all their expenses by sending the invoices and a refund form.

Visitors from other countries not envolved in this agreement might have to pay for all the medical and hospital expenses.

If you have a european health card you might also present it in order to speeden up the treatment and paying process.
