So, how do we make an international call?

When we landed in Charlotte, NC to make our connecting flight to Madrid, Celeste chose this opportunity to make contact with the people whom we are renting the apartment while we are in Madrid.  Easy enough.  We'll just call them. Makes perfect sense.
The number starts with a +. Do we dial that in the number? How do I make a + sign on a numerical keypad?

Celeste and I tried to call the number of the rental but to no avail. The number was not in service regardless of the combination that we tried to use.

This could be a mistake on our end, or we've been had and we gave our money to some crooks.
Where are we going to sleep tonight?

I reached out to my father-in-law who traveled much for his job. He said that the + can be dialed as 011.  Success! We made it through, we have a place to set up as our home away from home.
