Hello
Can anyone recommend how I would go about obtaining a Spanish driving licence will be 70 in a few weeks. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Update on that - VeraVision will certainly issue temp license if it is a renewal of an existing Spanish license - if it is a first time swap of UK licence for Spanish, they can only issue a Certificado Médico. You then have to go (or get a representative to go) to Tráfico in Almería. They will require two photos (which are quite a bit smaller than passport size) and your original licence.
You now need to wait one week after handing uk license in before Tráfico issue the temp licence - this is to ensure thorough checks with DVLA that licence handed in is not disqualified or suspended or reported lost or stolen (I have heard tales of expats wanting to keep uk licence as well so report it lost and hand replacement licence in ... this won’t work now as original licence is marked as lost on the system and it’s issue number marked as invalid)
Once you have your temp licence, it’s good for 3 months. Your permanent Spanish one will arrive within that time.

We used Grupo Salvador on Mojacar Playa. They are very good.
Hi thanks for that any idea of cost?
I think it was 100 euros. If you ring Anna or call in she will tell you. This was a new Spanish licence not a renewal so costs could vary.
Hello again
Any idea where I can get driving licence size photos in Mojácar. They are supposed to be smaller than passport size☹️
