Getting an Abortion in Barcelona if You’re from the European Union
Do you live in the European Union and want to end your pregnancy in Barcelona? Here is a practical guide with everything you need to know.
Can I Legally Get an Abortion in Barcelona if I’m from Another EU Country?
Spanish law on voluntary termination of pregnancy applies to all women who are in Spanish territory, regardless of their nationality or residency status.
If you meet the legal time limits, you have the right to access safe abortion care in Spain, either through the public system (under specific criteria) or at an accredited private clinic like ours.

How is follow-up done if I’ve already returned to my country?
The follow-up visit at 15 days is essential.
