If you do not speak Spanish

Start with your location and the type of emergency. If possible, have your hotel, host, Spanish-speaking companion or nearby business help communicate the exact address and situation.

Useful phrase:

“Tengo una emergencia. Estoy en…” — “I have an emergency. I am at…”

Save your location

If you are staying in a hotel, hostel or rental, save the full address in your phone. In an emergency, an exact location is more useful than only the accommodation name.
