What you need

• Finding a duty pharmacy (farmacia de guardia) in Andalucía: the rota is posted in every pharmacy’s window (shows the licensed pharmacist’s name, not the brand), sometimes published in local newspapers too. Each province’s Colegio Oficial de Farmacéuticos (Málaga, Granada, Sevilla, Cádiz, Huelva, Almería, Córdoba, Jaén) runs its own online duty-pharmacy lookup — enter the town/village name. Night dispensing is often through a service hatch; ring the bell if the main doors are locked. In small villages, the duty rota may be shared across nearby towns.
