Where are you from, and what visa will you be on in Barcelona? The nation in known for having a particularly good public healthcare system that is available for free of at a low cost for residents and citizens. However, in order to take advantage of this system you will need to have signed up for Seguridad Social (social security) and you will then need to get a medical card. If you are a non-resident in Spain you cannot take advantage of this system. Thus you would need to take out private insurance and health insurance.
