Thanks koilife, found this and have added an ICE message.Not sure if it is an Android thing or a Samsung thing, but I can now mark contacts as emergency contacts, and they are dialable on the emergency call option on my phone without requiring the phone to be unlocked. Very useful.
Similarly, I include a message to appear on the lock screen that indicates my allergies. I also include a message to call a priest if I am at serious risk of death.
I translated ICE contacts to Spanish for my last trip with parenthetical relationship (esposa, casa, etc.), as in "Monica (mi esposa)".Of course you know what this means, but would someone else in case of an emergency ?
I also had the same information (and more) in with my passport in both English and Spanish.This seems a good idea. I assume you are going to walk in Spain -so it would be better to register your ICE rather as mspath has suggested, or as "Familiares" (relatives) o "Casademis (padres/hermanos / esposo-a) (that is parents/brothers/ husband-wife).
" Emergencias" will be probably considered as medical information, or your assurance company.
I usually carry a little note in my passport -that may be the first place where a hurried paramedic or nurse will look for personal info.

Edit --- Found the text I used for the warning: La alergia a la picadura de abeja. En caso de peligro de muerte, traer un sacerdote católico. (Allergy to bee stings. If I am dying, bring a Catholic priest.) .
Where did you get that? It appears to be a slick idea (assuming it's lightweight). An alternative, I suppose, is ANY USB drive inside a tiny plastic bag with a label inside saying, "información médica".I carried one of these on my last Camino with all my medical history and meds on it and when I ended up in hospital in Bayonne the doctors told me that the information was invaluable. Its the size of a standard credit card with a build in 4GB USB memory stick.
