The recent increase in medical tourism in Europe also means more written contents are translated on the web to get to potential clients. Translating cross-border care language is somehow challenging because it implies different agents and linguistic fields making it difficult for translators and researchers to be fully apprehended. We hereby present a catalogue of possible informative resources on medical tourism and an ad hoc corpus based on Spanish medical websites-focused on aesthetics and cosmetics-that were translated into English.Citation
