Take intoaccount that the card does not cover private health care or repatriationcosts. Visit the EHIC website to find out more: http://ehic.europa.euIf you are from outside the European Union you should check whetherthere is an agreement for healthcare between the social security of yourcountry and of Spain. If there is such an agreement, you should submitthe necessary documents in your country so that you can have freeaccess to Spanish public healthcare. If your country has no healthcareagreement with the Spanish Social Security system, you should takeout private insurance cover for the whole of your stay in Spain.
