Re: Social security cards
On further investigation it is only for people who are going to retire within the next 30 days so no good to me anyway.
I guess the contributions that I made in the Uk don´t count for anything now. Would I get a teeny tiny state pension when I retire or is it just money lost?

).I think you have to have paid in for ten years to get anything, sorry. But have a look at this link, you may be ablre to claim off your spouse's (if you have one) contributions:

Re: Social security cards
I have no idea about the UK system, but two things occur to me:
1 Private medical cover is cheap here. We pay 60 euros a month (and that is in addition to having SS cover from Spain).
2 If you register as an autonomo and pay the cuota you would be covered. But this costs just over 200 euros a month though.
Now I have a question, probably for Fred James when he comes along....
.....what happens if you register as autonomo, get the SS card, and then as soon as you get the card de-register as autonomo. You would still have the card in your possession.....but would you remain covered by Spanish SS just because at some point in the past you have made a couple of cuota autonomo payments?

Re: Social security cards
If you set up as autonomo the only cost would be your cuota autonoma - just over 200 euros a month which pays for your Seguridad Social.
