Hi Absent friend,

I do have all this information in my apartment as i would expect most people do.  If you send me a private message with your email address I will send the info on to you.

Can I ask a question, if a Spanard moved next door to you and he came round and asked you for telephone numbers for services that he required but these services had to be spanish speakers only you would just laugh and tell him not to be so silly, so why do you expect spain to have these facilities for us. 

Ali

Thanks for the information it is appreciated.

I have the details but thought that many newcomers/holidays  might be glad to have emergency numbers available from those who live in the area and have local knowledge and might have been in need of emergency help themeselves when they first moved to Condado.

When an emergency occurs it is hard to think in English let alone a language one does not speak fluently.

As a fluent Welsh speaker and a basic  knowledge of Italian I know how hard it is for many people to learn a language especially as one is getting older, in an ideal world it would be great if everyone who moves to a foreign country would have speaking knowledge of the language of the country, but I believe that is Utopia.

If a Spaniard or any other nationality moved next door to me I would be only too happy to help them in any way I could.

I live in the Welsh speaking area of Wales and often have such problems occuring when there is a language barrier, my sister has Turkish neighbours who are lovely friends by now and she teaches the children Welsh, the Mother had zero knowledge of English or Welsh but they managed to become friends and understand each other, now the children are their translators,

I did not mean that the Spanish authority should make the emergency numbers available but the English speakers (of any nationality) who are helpful might want to publish emergency numbers on a blog such as `eye on Spain`
