Frequently asked questions
What are the opening hours of Farmacia El Morche?
Open all day Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 21:00 — no midday closing — and Saturdays 09:30–14:30. Closed on Sundays. Outside these hours, check the on-duty pharmacy (farmacia de guardia) for Torrox.
Where is the pharmacy?
At Carretera de Almería, 190, 29793 El Morche (Torrox Costa), on the main road through El Morche. Street parking is available nearby.
Is there parking at the pharmacy?
Two customer-only parking spaces at the door and a public car park a minute's walk away. The two spaces at the door are signposted as customer-only.
Do the staff speak English?
Yes — full service in English and Spanish, at the counter and by phone. We can also communicate in basic German, and for any other language we will do our best to help you.
Can I use a prescription from the UK or another country?
Prescriptions issued in EU countries can be dispensed in Spain if they meet cross-border requirements. UK prescriptions are no longer valid in Spain — you will need a prescription from a doctor in Spain. We can guide you through how it works.
Can you order medicines you don't have in stock?
Yes. Items available from our wholesalers usually arrive the same day or within 24 hours. Call us and we will confirm availability.
How do I find the on-duty (24h) pharmacy in Torrox?
The overnight duty (23:00–07:00) rotates among the five pharmacies of the municipality in 4-day shifts. We publish the full official calendar on this website, with each night's on-duty pharmacy, address and phone: see the "On-duty pharmacies in Torrox & Torrox Costa" page on this website.
