Questions

How many English-speaking doctors are there in Spain?
We list 166, in 17 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Barcelona, with 67 of the 166.
Is English unusual for doctors in Spain?
70% of the 238 doctors we hold in Spain are recorded as working in English. A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, so the figure reflects who publishes lists, not only who speaks what.
