I've gotta be honest, all I know is that if I need any prescription medication, I go back to the UK and get my repeat prescription made up there. If I were to need a gp I would go back and see my gp there. If I were to have an immediate crisis, I guess I would go to the local hospital here and claim the costs back through the E111 or whatever it is now. Fortunately my family and I are in good health, but we are looking at some of the heathcare providers here and they seem to be cheaper than in the UK, but (probably stupidly) we've got a bit of the "manana" attitude with it.

Anyway, I'm sure someone will be along with more knowledge and information than I have

Good luck, we're in the Costa Del sol and love it!!!
