Where these came from

These English-speaking doctors come from 7 sources, led by the UK Foreign Office's travel advice (46), a German diplomatic mission (7) and es.usembassy.gov (4).

58 of the 61 sit on an official list; the rest rest on the provider saying so or on a directory listing, which is a weaker claim and is labelled on each card.

Questions

How many English-speaking doctors are there in Spain?
We list 61, in 14 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 18 of the 61.
Is English unusual for doctors in Spain?
45% of the 137 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.
