Your local Gran Alacant pharmacy for prescriptions and everyday health needs
Farmacia Ángel Galiana Romero is a local community pharmacy on Avenida de Finlandia in Gran Alacant, serving residents and newcomers living in Gran Alacant and the immediate Santa Pola area. The pharmacy fills Spanish prescriptions, stocks everyday over‑the‑counter medicines and health products, and offers straightforward advice on common ailments, first‑aid supplies and what to use when you are not sure whether you need to see a doctor. Like most Spanish pharmacies, staff are trained to help with minor health questions and can recommend suitable treatments for coughs, colds, pain relief, allergies, stomach problems and basic skin conditions. While this is not an official English‑speaking pharmacy, the team is used to a mix of Spanish and international customers in Gran Alacant and will usually do their best to communicate clearly and patiently. The pharmacy operates long hours, making it convenient for people who are settling in, still organising their SIP card or health appointments, or simply need quick access to medicines and health advice close to home.
This is a local Spanish pharmacy serving a mixed community in Gran Alacant; staff are generally patient and helpful with people who speak limited Spanish, but English is not clearly advertised, so it is best to speak slowly, use simple words or show things written down (for example your prescription or a photo of your usual medicine).
Yes, the pharmacy works like any other Spanish pharmacy: if you have a valid SIP card or recognised European health cover, your prescription will show how much you pay at the counter; if you are on private insurance or paying fully yourself, you pay the full price shown.
For minor issues such as simple coughs, colds, pain relief, basic skin problems or stomach bugs, the pharmacist can usually suggest suitable over‑the‑counter products and explain how to use them; they will tell you if they think you should see a doctor instead.
Recent listings show a timetable of 08:00–22:00 from Monday to Sunday, open 365 days a year, but Spanish pharmacies operate on rota and guard systems, so hours can change; always check the latest information on the pharmacy door or confirm by calling +34 966 69 54 93 before a late‑evening visit.
No, you simply walk in during opening hours and wait your turn at the counter; bring your prescription, SIP card or ID if you have one.
You can show the pharmacist the packaging or a photo of your usual medicine, or write down the active ingredient; Spanish pharmacies stock local equivalents for most common UK, European and international brands, and the pharmacist can usually help you find the right product
