We get your card for you!
The second option is that we will get your metro card for you. You will need to apply for your metro card online and have it sent to our office. Once it’s ready you can pick it up, but keep in mind the process takes about ten days. We recommend applying for it before you travel to Spain so it will be ready by the time you arrive.
