Travel Back in time to the Spanish Military Hospital, where the doctor is always in. Discover untold history as their guides demonstrate "cutting edge" colonial surgery techniques.

Here, you can experience a tapestry of medicine- uncover how Spanish physicians wove together knowledge from Europe and Africa to achieve an astonishing survival rate.
Visit their apothecary's garden and appreciate herbs which are still used in medicines today.
See how people lived and dressed in another time, and understand the role of religion in the daily life of the Catholic Spanish.
Stop in, see their museum collection of antique surgical instruments, and "leech" some knowledge from their experienced guides. A journey of discovery for the whole family!
