Any local gestor will do it for you at a fair price. Don't try the online offers as they will usually overcharge you horribly.

If it is of interest? When I exchanged my license I received a temporary license and there is no need to fret over how long the replacement takes.

... unless you need to drive in another country! The temporary one is useless for that.

Re: exchanging uk driving license for a spanish one
All I can find on line re Holmes and anything to do with vehicles in Spain is for car registration/importing I can't see anything re Holmes and driving licences? Could you clarify possibly with a link to prevent any confusion?

4 months? Just do it yourself; go to Trafico, which for me was Bilbao. Got my Spanish licence within 3 weeks. Cost €22. That was 7 years ago.
