It is very important for all students who are studing a Spanish course in Spain know that taxi fares are different in each city. The meter, the minimum fare or rate per mile, are very different depending where you study Spanish in Spain. Including in some cities there are special rates on weekends, at night, or when you start a route from a train station or airport.
