I make alot of calls to Spain and so always look at various companies that offer good rates.
At the moment the best I have found is http://www.18185.co.uk who charge to Spain 0.5p per minute. They have a set 4p connection charge like most others but this is by far the cheapest yet. To a Spanish mobile is 8p which again is very cheap. I have also used 18866 but they charge 2p per minute which is still good.
If anyone knows cheaper then please let us all know. This company signs you up and takes credit card details and thats it. You have to registered with a BT landline though but have a look at the website and see what you think.
There are free calls using Skype but the calls are normally rubbish and keep cutting off. Plus the person at the other end also has to have Skpye which makes it hard really.
As for the quality of service I must admit this does go up and down but speaking from experiance I have not had any problems.
The Skype rate to call Spain is €0.017 per min as is the same rate to call back to the UK.
Skype to Skype call are totally free but as you say both parties must have Skype on their PC's. Another advantage with Skype is you can hold a conference call with up to 5 other people plus yourself even if the other people as talking to you by normal landline but you need Skypeout for that but not to talk to 5 people PC to PC just the Skype program.
With the latest version of Skype you can now send live video to the other person even if they cannot send it to you.
As you might guess I am an avide Skype user, and I think for what it is it is a very good service but each to their own.
However, I'll be trying both systems listed above as they look like they may be cheaper, especially if both parties are on Skype.
you can then add in a mobile as well. It's the same rate as your given a uk access No so it is charged at national rate from the mobile company's. I've been with them for years they are one or the best and i think the cheapest the lines are clear and the quality is good.

http://www.voipbuster.com free calls to Spain and only 1c a min to UK landlines
Quality is far better than Skype I use both and I prefer the former by far. You can have both running on your system at the same time no problem
Oh and on VOIP you can even call Thailand for FREE
