But, according to the Consumers' Association, foreign hospitals can be poor, reciprocal health agreements with other countries cannot be relied on. travel insurance often does not cover you and travel agents often give misleading medical advice. What should you do to make sure you get properly treated?

Road to Rocio by DOUGLAS LIVINGSTONE with James Bolam, Sara Kestelman, Michael Kitchen.
What was Rocio all about? Religion, booze, sex, brotherhood, gypsies, macho men, singing and dancing - all those things came into it, but for the four English people who went on the pilgrimage to this tiny place in the south of Spain, it was difficult to find out why it meant so much to the Spaniards. Perhaps it was something to do with a face.
Directed by JANE MORGAN (Repeated: Sun 2.30 pm) (Sara Kestelman is a member of the RSC)
