Every year, pilgrims from the US, the UK, Ireland, Australia and all over Europe walk the last 100 km of the Camino de Santiago, from Sarria through Portomarín, Palas de Rei, Melide and Arzúa. Blisters, sore knees, colds and stomach upsets are part of the journey, and finding a doctor who speaks English on the way is not easy. Dr. Pedro Yelamo Vera is a GP licensed in Spain, fluent in English and Spanish, offering urgent, non-emergency care by secure video.
See a doctor from your sofa, hotel room or villa in Santiago de Compostela. Appointments are offered every day, 07:30–20:30 (Spain time).
Describe your symptoms in your own words and understand every part of your plan. Nothing gets lost in translation.
No detour to a clinic on a walking day. A short video call from where you are staying, then a clear plan.
Honest advice on whether to rest, carry on or be examined in person, so a small problem does not end your Camino.
Getting medical care in Spain as a tourist, digital nomad or expat can be hard. Language gaps at the public urgencias, new pharmacy rules and clinic sign-up forms can all slow you down when you need care soon.
Dr. Pedro Yelamo Vera offers caring, bilingual GP care by secure HD video. You can join from your phone or laptop, wherever you are. There is no need to travel to a clinic.
Prescriptions are issued only where clinically appropriate, following a genuine evaluation. They are valid throughout Spain and, under EU Directive 2011/24/EU, can be dispensed in other EU and EEA countries where the medicine is authorised, except for some specially controlled medicines.
You receive a medical report and an itemised invoice to submit to your insurer. Check your policy before booking: reimbursement is decided by your insurer and is not guaranteed.
Every consultation follows evidence-based clinical protocols. Before any treatment advice, the doctor checks your medical history, the medicines you take and any reason a treatment may not suit you.
These consultations are for urgent, non-emergency care. For severe red-flag symptoms (severe chest pressure, sudden neurological deficit, severe shortness of breath), go straight to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 112.

Public healthcare in Galicia is run by SERGAS, the Galician health service. Hospital Clínico Universitario de Santiago (CHUS) is the city's main public hospital, with a 24-hour emergency department. Dr. Yelamo's practice is private and online: it is not part of SERGAS.
Outside normal hours, a pharmacy on duty (farmacia de guardia) stays open in each area. The official list shows the pharmacies on duty in and around Santiago de Compostela.
