Telephones
Public telephones The ubiquitous blue payphones are easy to use for international and do-
mestic calls. They accept coins, tarjetas telefónicas (phonecards) issued by the national
phone company Telefónica and, in some cases, credit cards. Tarjetas telefónicas are sold at
post offices and tobacconists.
Call centres A few Locutorios , which also double as internet centres, are scattered around
El Raval (look around Carrer de Sant Pau and Carrer de l'Hospital).
Making calls To call Barcelona from outside Spain, dial the international access code, fol-
lowed by the code for Spain ( 34) and the full number (including Barcelona's area code,
93, which is an integral part of the number). To make an international call, dial the interna-
tional access code ( 00), country code, area code and number.
