Question 5

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can set up monitoring for multiple provinces and cities across Spain. This is especially useful if you're willing to travel for an earlier appointment.

Accepted Answer

When you receive a notification, you'll need to quickly visit the official government portal to book the appointment. Cita Ping provides direct links to speed up the process.

Why are appointments so hard to find manually?

Accepted Answer

The official portal releases appointments unpredictably throughout the day and they're often taken within minutes. Manual checking is time-consuming and inefficient compared to automated monitoring. To better understand the appointment booking process and why it can be so challenging, see our [detailed guide to cita previa in Spain](../articles/cita-previa-spain).
