Phone numbers in spain please help

My rental apartment lady has given me a phone number to contact her on but it is or seems to be 20 numbers long, maybe it is supposed to be 2 seperate numbers? I really cannot work it out and please can someone help?

Obviously will not put the number up here but the first three digits for Costa Blanca Spain is 670 does that make it a landline or a mobile then it goes on for another 17 numbers:eek: has the lady put one landline in and one mobile perhaps?

What does a landline number start with for Spain? How many numbers should a phone number have? What does a mobile number start with?

    Mobile phone numbers begin with 6 or 7, followed by 8 digits (6xy zzz zzz 7xy zzz zzz), where x can be 1 to 9, not 0 (zero). Note, numbers starting with 70 are personal numbers which can be re-directed to any other number by the personal owner. Since the blocks of mobile phone numbers are allocated according to demand from the service providers, there is not necessarily a unique service provider indicated by the three digit numbering group (6xy or 7xy).
    In October 2009, new legislation was approved to grant the allocation of up to 80,000,000 new numbers beginning with number 7 (followed by 8 digits) to supplement the existing group beginning with number 6 (followed by 8 digits); due to the lack of available numbers to satisfy the increasing demand for mobile phone and other mobile / wireless services.

    Must be 2 lots of 77 she has added by mistake, it does ring but that is all it does, no one picks up it just rings without one lot of the 77 leaving 9 numbers, try again later I suppose:D thank you very much
