I have to take certain medications daily; do I keep them with me always, in my daypack (for 30+days) or do I split them up between luggage and daypack? What have others done?

It sounds like you will be using pack transport? If so, I wouldn't worry about keeping all my meds with me all the time. I put each day's medication in a tiny individual baggie. I don't use pack transport, so I do carry all of them with me all the time. Fortunately, every day I carry a little less as I use them.

Have a copy of you prescription I your email in case you need to replace them. Research how your medication, active ingredient is called in Spain. A international pharmacy’s can help. Same with how to take it and your doc and emergency’s contact
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.

Many thanks. Will do it...cant wait to go!!
 
I think it will depend on whether you are able to fulfil a prescription in Spain. And how dependant you are on them. I had mine blisterpacked before i left and carried them with me at all times. I nearly lost my pack once, with bag transport, which could easily have turned into a disaster if my medications were in it.
