The quality of health care and hospital facilities in Andalucia is generally of a high standard and the large hospitals in the main cities are very well equipped and offer excellent health care. If you live and work in Andalucia, then by law you must subscribe to the Seguridad Social (Social Security) and will thereby have access to the state health system.
However, if you do not intend to work in Spain, and are not yet receiving a UK pension, then you must take out Privacy health insurance to ensure you can meet any medical expenses. You are only permitted to get free healthcare on your E111 for a period of three months, as this is normally only for use when holidaying in Spain.
For those receiving payment of a UK pension into a Spanish account, you can receive free health care (which is paid for by the UK NHS) but you will have to complete all the necessary paperwork and register it with your nearest Seguridad Social office.
