FROM SPAIN
Spain has a very good and constantly improving telephone system provided by Telefonica and there are now new companies that offer similar services.
Most bars and restaurants have a public telephone. There are telephone cabins on the streets. Most of these have a facility for instructions in English by pressing the language button. There are also an ever increasing number of commercial call cabins that offer cut price calls abroad. The public phones in the street accept most euro coins, or you can purchase phone cards from tobacconists for use in card phones. 'Telefonica' telephone cards can be purchased in units of 6 Euro, 10 Euro and 20 Euro . These are inserted into the slot in the public phone. They do not offer cost saving but are more convenient than coins.
TO SPAIN
Dial 00 for an international call, then 34 which is the code for Spain, then the subscriber's number, including the area code.
