Rankings

Best pharmacies

Seven pharmacies in Torre del Mar carry a public rating, with just over 500 reviews between them across the whole trade. That is a small number, and it makes this ranking unusually sensitive: a handful of new opinions can move the order.

What is actually being ranked

Prices are regulated and the medicine on the shelf is identical in every pharmacy in Spain. So what these reviews measure is the counter: the advice, the patience, whether someone remembered your name. That is the only place a pharmacy can differentiate itself, and it is exactly what the score picks up here.

A Spanish pharmacy does more than you expect

Pharmacists here resolve a great deal without a doctor: minor complaints, dressings, blood pressure, advice on what needs a prescription and what does not. For anything small, this is the first door to try, not the last.

The duty pharmacy rotates

There is always one pharmacy on duty out of hours, and the rota changes. It is published by the provincial pharmacists' association, and the only safe way to know today's is to check the official listing for the day. Reproducing a rota on a web page would be a good way to send someone to a closed door at two in the morning.

Score out of 100 calculated by this portal from public data: average Google rating (45), number of reviews on a logarithmic scale (30), the business having a website of its own (15) and a published telephone number (10). The last two only count when that check has been made across the whole trade, so that the comparison is between equals. Each listing carries the date its data was verified.
