Hello,
This is my first posting. My wife (who is a Spanish citizen) and I are planning to move to
Galicia next year. We are planning to buy a pharmacy as this is both of our professions. Does anyone know offhand if this is a stable business (in terms of income) in Spain? I know this is a strange question, but thought I’d ask as we are trying to gather as much info as possible.

Kind regards,
Don

It must be a licence to print money - where else can you buy medicines/drugs??

Haha, yeah, although there are already TONS of pharmacies in Spain… yet even when you see two on the same block they both seem to be doing alright.

There might be a bunch of legal and regulatory hoops to jump through, I doubt it’ll be an easy process. You’d probably be the first expat pharmacists in the country, but I could be wrong about that.

IMHO, if you hooked yourself up in a touristy area and talked to the doctors in the area I’m sure you’d do well.

True! And the wrong temperature! In fact, why not having it show the time/temp in London instead!?
