2) How did you guys spend time in Vitoria the days after the surgery - looks like the guidance is it to avoid sun.
Thanks again for your help so far
1. No gotchas. Medical tourism counts as tourism. No need to say anything other than touring/vacation.
2. I stayed several days in Vitoria. I woke up, ate hotel buffet breakfast, went to clinic for cleaning (doesn’t take long), and spent the rest of the day resting, reading a lot, watching TV/movies, and eating. Try to just relax and figure out what works for you to be comfortable while protecting your head. I was not active at all while in Vitoria.
