I draw a UK state pension and I've heard S1 covers healthcare in Spain. How does it work?

An S1 lets the UK pay for your Spanish state healthcare if you're eligible, typically as a pensioner. You apply in the UK and then register it with the Spanish social security office (INSS). Rules for new applicants vary, so check the current arrangement.
Once registered, you get the same healthcare card as other residents.
