What is the Spain country code?
Everything you need to dial a Spain number correctly from a UK phone.
+34
The Spain country code is +34. Dialling from the UK? Use 0034 instead of the + — they do exactly the same thing.
How to dial a Spain number from the UK
Spain has no area codes — dial 0034 + the 9-digit number directly. Landlines start with 9; mobiles start with 6 or 7.
Example: 0034 + 9-digit number, e.g. 0034 91 xxx xxxx for a Madrid landline.
00 or +? Either works
Typing +34 (hold the 0 key on most phone keypads to get a +) is the international standard and works automatically wherever you're calling from. 0034 is the UK's own way of dialling out internationally — both reach exactly the same number.

What is the Spain country code?
The Spain country code is +34. When dialling from a UK phone, replace the + with 0034 instead.
Do I dial 00 or + to call Spain from the UK?
Either works on most modern phones — typing "+" (hold 0 on most keypads) and the country code is the international standard and works automatically. The 00 prefix is the UK-specific way of dialling out internationally and does exactly the same thing.
Does this work for mobiles as well as landlines?
Spain has no area codes — dial 0034 + the 9-digit number directly. Landlines start with 9; mobiles start with 6 or 7.
Is there a free way to call Spain that doesn't need a dialling code at all?
Yes — WhatsApp, FaceTime and similar apps call over data instead of the phone network, so there's no country code to dial at all. They're free if the person you're calling also has internet, but aren't a substitute for reaching a landline or someone without a smartphone.
