Thanks GB45 for your post I think we will do the same and stay overnight, we were worried about the road network as although we live around hills (Malvern Worcestershire) it is not like the mountain roads with no barriers, but we feel much more confident reading these two kind replies, we shall take our time and enjoy the Spanish countryside.

Can anyone tell us what the roads are like from Bilbao to Alicante, we are two OAPs and dog (what a picture that conjurs up), we are not happy with high mountain passes and roads hanging off the side of cliffs, so we thought we would ask before booking the ferry, any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks Nigel and friends this has put our minds at rest somewhat, actually it sounds simpler that the U.K. what with waiting days to see a Nurse etc. We were a bit worried because when in Menorca about 12 years ago I had what I now know to be an angina attack and I went to the local clinic and was told that as I didn't have a credit card only a Visa card I couldn't be seen, so because we were out in the sticks and returning to the U.K. the next day I stuck it out , later to have a bypass. That incident has made us a bit wary of going to the islands so we are hoping to enjoy mainland Spain.
Many thanks

My partner and I want to spend the winter months in Spain as we are now pensioners, my partner has to take Warfrin at the moment and when he spoke to his cardiologist he told him that it was preferable that he stayed in the U.K. until at least next February when hopefully he will be off the medication. I got to thinking that surely there are people in Spain who take a Warfrin equivalent and also I wondered how Brits on long term holidays managed and if there is a facility to have their INR tested in Spain, to be honest we always thought that the health care in Spain was better than the U.K. can anyone kindly shed some light on this please.
Many thanks
