¿Hay una farmacia cerca?

When to use

This is useful for finding a pharmacy, especially if you need medication or basic health supplies while traveling.

How it works

It uses the impersonal form of 'haber' ('hay' - there is/are) to ask about the existence of something. 'Cerca' means 'nearby'.

• ¿Hay: Is there
• una farmacia: a pharmacy
• cerca: nearby

Hay vs. Está

Use 'hay' (is there / are there) when asking if a place exists in the area. Use 'está' (is) when you already know a specific place exists and want to know its exact location.

Notes

Useful for minor health needs. Neutral everyday wording.
