This page lists three emergency phones in and around the town plus two hospitals: Hospital Comarcal d’Inca and hospital de Sant Joan de Déu. In any real emergency, call 112 first and give your location as precisely as you can.
Emergency phones are most useful when your own phone battery is dead or you have no mobile signal and need to reach emergency services. Their exact positions are on the map on this page; check them before you ride rather than searching under stress. When you reach one, confirm the handset is present and the instructions are legible, and if a unit is damaged move on to the next one or call from a passer-by’s phone.
Hospital Comarcal d’Inca and hospital de Sant Joan de Déu are the two hospitals listed for Inca. For significant trauma, suspected fractures, head or spine injuries, or anything that cannot wait, do not try to ride there: call 112 and let the dispatcher decide where you should be taken. If you are travelling to hospital by car, allow extra time for town-centre traffic.
Inca is busier on weekdays and on market days, and the MA-13 approaches carry more traffic in high season, which can slow any transfer by road. Riding early or late means fewer bystanders, so keep your phone charged and tell someone your route. See the emergency contacts page for the full list of numbers and the Inca town page for other services.
Common questions
Where are the emergency phones in Inca and how do I find them?
The three phones listed here are shown on the map on this page. Note their positions before you set off; if you find one damaged or without a handset, move to the next unit or ask someone nearby to call 112.
If I can still ride but need non-critical help, should I go to hospital or use an emergency phone first?
For non-critical issues, calling first is often faster than travelling: use your mobile or an emergency phone to explain the situation. For anything that risks your safety or mobility, call 112 and follow the dispatcher’s instructions.
How long will ambulance access take in and around Inca?
Response times vary and we cannot predict them. Town-centre traffic, market days and peak-season volume can all add delays to road travel, so give the dispatcher clear landmarks and the street name to help them find you.
What should I carry when riding through Inca?
Carry a charged phone, ID, health information, a small repair kit and a power pack. Keep the names of the listed hospitals (Hospital Comarcal d’Inca; hospital de Sant Joan de Déu) to hand so you can give clear directions if you or someone else needs help.
