Thanks for the response Leon but, with no transport, I’ll have to look for someone closer to Mojácar.

Go to Salvador next to MACS on Playa.  They are very efficient and also do Residencias.  Exchange of license takes a few weeks as they are pretty busy at present.

Hi

CATS have quoted me 135€ + 45€ for the medical. I’ve done the medical myself and my Solicitor is doing the rest for 100€

Hi Alicia 

I have contacted them and they don’t do the whole process.... I would still have to go down to Almeria. The only option I have is to use an abogado/gestoria 😐

We took our licenses in last week and we were given a piece of paper to say that we are able to drive. They did not say when our licence would appear because there are a lot of people doing it. I have read that there is a deadline of 25 Dec for applications.
