Public telephones are available most everywhere in Spain; they offer instructions
in English and may be used to call most parts of the world. Some phones are
equipped to take credit cards. Since calling from Spain to America is about 10
times more expensive than calling from America to Spain, it is advisable to access
your American calling-card connection.
When in Spain, dial 00 to telephone outside of Spain. When calling Spain from
abroad, include Spain's country code. It is then necessary to dial the provincial
codes for each province. When calling within Spain, the provincial codes begin with

Some provincial codes include Alicante, 96; Avila, 920; Barcelona, 93; Burgos,
947; Cordoba, 957; Madrid, 91; Malaga, 95; Seville, 95; Toledo, 925; and Valencia,
