"Movistar is Spain's biggest mobile operator with 22m clients. Vodafone numbers 14.6m clients, while third place Orange has 11.1m to its name."
Those are shared between 40 million Spaniards ...

Um, yes, there's a lot of mobile phones in Spain.
The population is actually 45 million so that's about one phone per person.

... So why the hell is the likes of Virgin Media and other phone operators in the UK allowed to round calls up to the nearest minute rather than charge per second?
Its actually a rip off as if your on a call 1 minute and 2 seconds, thats 2 minutes your charged - THAT HAS TO BE ILLEGAL???

Instead of living in rip off britian, we should complain to the EU Ombudsman to stop telephone operators in the Uk charging per minute and rounding up to the nearest minute instead of billing per second...
... Visit: http://www.ombudsman.europa.eu/home/en/default.htm and click on the email link at the bottom left hand side to let the Ombudsman know that we are not happy with UK companies doing it when its illegal in spain. This should be the same rule in all EU states, like roaming charges are now!

if you signed a contract, and that pricing was in that contract, then its not illegal, its user stupidity

You can hardly call living in The Canary Islands or in Marbella to be living in Spain. Without a doubt you live/work/social with only Brits.
