You probably won’t need a translator. I don’t speak Spanish.  I’ve not been to the Vera itv station but at Albox it was simples. An appointment is not always necessary. I just turned up with my paperwork, I wasn’t quite sure which papers so I just took everything and the receptionist sorted it all out. You get a ticket and wait to be called. Drive your car when called into green 1 or 2 lane as directed. After that you sit in the car and follow instructions via a walkie talkie given to you by the examiner which you clip onto your opened window and he will help if you don’t understand ( lights, indicators etc). It is nowhere near as thorough as in U.K.  if it passes he gives you the certificate and window sticker and you drive off. Easy peasy. Mine sailed through and it’s 20 years old.

I seem to remember it being around €25. (Ish). Sorry I can’t be more precise. Mine is due again soon so I will update the post at a later date. 👍
