I am thinking of attending the Sprint week in Malaga next March. Does anyone know if the Spanish federation requires fitness to run medical certificates, Italy and France seem to be hot on this and it could be a problem. I have some fortunately minor heart issues and my GP practice refuses to have anything to do with such certification. Is it possible to get this done privately? Last time I went abroad my consultant kindly did the necessary but don't like to keep asking him. ( annoyingly was never asked to produce it although stipulated as a requirement)
Any advice , knowledge welcome.

I've both orienteered and run a marathon in Spain, and no certificates were necessary. (The orienteering was most recently in 2017 and the marathon in 2015.) These things can change, of course, but I know of several running friends who've been there more recently and they never mentioned needing them.

Medical certificate is not required in Spain. It is also no longer required in Italy since last year.
