Driving In Spain

Motoring and Touring through Spain

Legal Requirments

An international driver's license is officially required to drive in Spain. The minimum driving age is 18years.
The speed limit is 120 km/h on the motorways, 100 km/h on the fast lanes and 60 km/h in town.
Seat belts must be worn in both the front and back of the vehicle.
The alcohol limit is 0.8 pro mille.
The police are empowered to levy 'spot fines' for minor trafic violations. (It is better to be aware of this than to ever discover this for yourself!)

The Roads in Spain

The road infrastructure has been much improved in recent times but there are still a number of 'scenic routes' which if taken are slow. On those routes which have been improved there is no great time saving in taking the motorways.
If you do take a motorway bear in mind that Spains motorways are toll roads. For further information on the road system and traffic regulations in Spain at the Web site of Spain's Traffic Authority Dirección General de Tráfico

Generally speaking the temperatures in Spain are high so if you have a choice of vehicle chose one with climate controlled or air conditioning. You will not regret it!
