Hospital Divino Vallés

Hospital Divino Vallés is a healthcare facility in Burgos that provides psychiatric services and urgent primary care, located on Avenida Islas Baleares. The building serves as a Continuous Care Point for emergency cases in the region's healthcare network.

The facility was founded in 1912 as a charitable institution to provide medical care to poor people. Dr. Mariano Lostau Páramo oversaw its establishment and shaped the organization's original mission.

The hospital takes its name from Francisco Valles, a 16th-century physician from Covarrubias whose medical work left a lasting mark on Spain. This naming reflects the institution's connection to that historical medical tradition.

The emergency services operate from 15:00 to 08:00 on weekdays, but remain open around the clock on weekends and public holidays. Visitors needing urgent care should note these different schedules when planning their visit.

In 1937, Spain's first neurosurgery clinic opened here, marking a significant moment in the country's medical history. This specialized facility, led by Dr. Vara, remained in operation until 1953.
