Morning ladies,
Potxola, I'm from Vitoria, and something tells me you are from the Basque country too?
The Spanish passport was something like £11, not very much at all. You need two passport photos (white background, no shadows, normal expression, mouth closed, facing forward - i took about twenty till i got this baby to comply!), the Libro de Familia and the passport of both parents. Bring also a £5 registered envelope special for sending documents, which you can get in any post office, or they will ask you to go and collect the passport when it's ready.
I don't think the Spanish parent needs to be present if you two are married, because it is stated in the libro de familia. Give them a call at the consulate to make sure though. I found that, much to my surprise, they even pick up the phone these days!!
I took the photos myself, whith him lying on my bed on a white sheet, then sent them to Photobox online, who produce passport pictures for something like a pound plus postage.
On another note, Diego has slept 5 and 4 hours either side of 3. I am ecstatic, but suspect this antibiotic might be making him sleepy. Either that or 3 good naps and constant feedign on the previous days are bearing its fruit.
Either way, I'm not complaining!
