This brief article reviews the writings on popular healers which can be found in Spanish medical historiographical literature. Our knowledge of this topic is still clearly insufficient, and we note the possibilities that the Protomedicato could offer to increase it. Finally we review the ways in which the study of popular healing can enhance our knowledge of health care in the past.
