Can anyone recommend a local doctor? I just need to get an appointment and see if he can do me a prescription for my husband we have almost run out and have decided to stay longer?

Re: doctor
Have you tried going straight to the pharmacia. If you take your existing drug(s)or prescription along they will often dispense the equivalent without attending a doctor. We have done that in both Spain and Portugal. But some drugs are just not available so you cannot have them even from a doctor.

When I had to see a doctor, I went to the hospital in VRSA, by the sports ground - for English service. My BH once needed a doc, sorry forgot her name or office hours, but she has an office next to the chemists on the opposite side of Fernando's resto in Altura English speaking.
Good luck!
