Hi gavilan,
Google your model and year to find an owners club Forum and ask your question on there....... :idea:
All my best learning experiences start with a problem I need to solve.

A key from nothing or a copy of the old key?

Does it have a blade and seperate fob? If you have the fob, a copy key for those is 50€.

Not sure if your Volvo is Ford related, some were, the S40 and V40 used some Focus stuff iirc, may not apply to yours I appreciate, Ford remotes are easy and cheap to program yourself.
But as Enrique says the forums are a good place to go

we normally use a place called codigo malaga, they are on calle frigiliana, in the centre of malaga. Might be worth throwing them an email to see if they can help?

why not the volvo dealer too? you might be surprised.

The bmw dealer was only 20€ more than codigo malaga for a key for a 2005 bmw the other day.

Try ebay, lots of keys for most models on the site.

Perhaps a good idea to remove your post?
