Questions

How many French-speaking doctors are there in Spain?
We list 50, in 6 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 33 of the 50.
Is French unusual for doctors in Spain?
21% of the 238 doctors we hold in Spain are recorded as working in French. 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.
