It seems to me that Spain has many contradictions., eg, Spaniards seem to drive very fast and furious but instead amble as if they have all the time in the world when crossing the road when walking. Another, in every city and train there are clocks but many people are late to their appointments.

Any more?

Thank you for your help, John and NIgel. Thank you Nigel for the links, useful information but the download link doesn't work anymore, it seems. And John, I have been told the number will be a new one. I cannot use my old number. Anyway, many thanks for the information, gratefully received.

 Recently I have had cause to renew my UK driving license and because I am living in Spain, have to replace it with a Spanish one. Trafico have said I need a “green’ NIE document even though I have a NIE on white paper.

 

A friend suggested I do the process through a ‘gestoria’ who said that from April 1st this year, all expats are required to obtain a new NIE document on ‘green’ paper and until I get this I cannot renew my driving license.

 

I have had to supply the old NIE number, passport details, copy of medical card, my UK pension details, the UK reciprocal medical agreement, bank statement, and a document proving we are living where we say we are living from the local council.

 

Does anyone else know of this and would like to comment?

 I am often sending parcels to the Uk and other parts of Europe and always seem to get the cost wrong. Has anyone got a list, or tell me where I can find one, of the cost of large letters and parcels from Spain please? I have searched the web and aksed at Post Offices without much success.
