Pharmacies in Frontera are the two licensed dispensing chemists serving the municipality of Frontera on the island of El Hierro, located along the main road near the town centre. These pharmacies stock prescription medicines, over-the-counter remedies, and basic first-aid supplies, with staff who can advise in Spanish. Opening hours are typically Monday to Saturday, with a rotating on-call rota for nights and Sundays coordinated island-wide.
What to expect
- Both pharmacies operate standard weekday hours from 9:00 to 13:30 and 16:30 to 20:00, with Saturday morning service until 13:00
- The on-call rota for after-hours and public holidays is posted on each pharmacy door and published in the local Frontera town hall noticeboard
- Visitors can purchase sunscreen, insect repellent, and motion-sickness tablets, which are commonly needed for the ferry crossing to El Hierro
- Prescription collection for Spanish public health (SNS) is processed directly, but EU visitors should bring their EHIC or private insurance paperwork
- Staff speak Spanish only in most cases, so bringing a written list of medication names or a translation app is practical
- The pharmacy at Calle Doctor Quintero 12 is the larger of the two and includes a small section for baby care and wound dressings
