How do I get a 'Parte de Baja' (sick leave) if I get sick on vacation?
I am working remotely from Barcelona for a Spanish company and got a severe flu. My employer is asking for a 'Parte de Baja' (sick leave note). Can I get this online?

If you are employed in Spain or have a Spanish contract, you need an official 'Parte de Baja' for sick leave. Our doctors can assess your condition via video consultation and issue a medical certificate confirming your illness and recommended rest period, which you can present to your employer or insurance. Please note that for long-term Spanish social security sick leave, you may eventually need to register with your local public health center (CAP), but our private medical certificate is fully valid for immediate justification of absence.
