Drivers of cars and motorcycles may exceed the limits shown by 20km/h in order to overtake a slower vehicle outside built-up areas, on roads with one lane in each direction.

The use of radar indicators and detectors is still allowed in Spain, but the ownership, transport or use of a radar jammer is strictly prohibited.

Motorways and dual carriageways may not be used by vehicles which cannot reach a minimum speed of 60km/h.

Penalties:

On-the-spot fines

Police can impose fines on the spot. Fines may be reduced by 50% if the motorist pays within 20 days (not applicable for major offences). A fine can be contested within 15 days.

Visiting motorists must pay their fines immediately (with this reduction) unless they give the name of a person or corporation in Spain willing to guarantee payment of the fine. Otherwise the vehicle will be confiscated until the fine is paid. They can then contest the fine through the legal system.

Criminal offences

Some motoring offences are considered criminal offences and lead to much higher fines, as well as vehicle confiscation and possible prison sentences.

Immobilisation of vehicles

A vehicle can be immobilised because of mechanical defects, excess noise or pollution, lack of insurance or because the driver refuses to pay a fine, or is under the influence of alcohol.

Parking

Parking regulations

Parking is prohibited within five metres of a bend or intersection.

The blue parking zone ("zona azul" ou "zona O.R.A.") is indicated by signs. The maximum parking period is usually two hours during the day; there is no parking limit between 20:00 and 08:00 hours, depending on local dispositions.

Vehicles parked during the night on inadequately lit streets must have their side lights illuminated.

Vehicles must be parked on the right-hand side of the carriageway except in one-way streets where parking may be allowed on both sides.

Paid parking

Road signs indicate the areas where parking is restricted and must be paid for, either at parking meters or automatic machines which issue tickets indicating the length of parking time which has been paid for.

In Madrid, there is a regulated parking zone, the "SER" where parking spaces are shown by blue or green lines. In these areas, parking is limited to 1 or 2 hours for visitors and can be paid by means of parking ticket machines or by mobile phone. In some large towns, e.g. Barcelona, payment of a parking fee is possible by inserting a credit card in a machine.

Enforcement of parking regulations

Illegally parked vehicles may be towed away. This applies to temporarily imported vehicles as well as to those registered in Spain.

A driver whose vehicle has been taken away must go to the nearest police station. In order to get his car back, he must pay the fine for the parking offence, plus the costs of towing together with a parking fee for the time during which the vehicle was impounded.

The wheel clamp ("cepo") is used in some towns when an illegally parked vehicle is not causing an obstruction.

Disabled parking access

Each municipality issues permits for disabled drivers in their zone. These are valid for one year and can be renewed annually.

The permit, which must be displayed on the inside of the windscreen, allows the vehicle to be parked, with no time limit in zones which are for loading and unloading, and with a time limit in pedestrian zones, and at some places where parking is usually prohibited by signs, if permission has been granted by a traffic warden.

Traffic lights:

The international 3-colour traffic light system is used.

Green, amber and red arrows are used at some intersections

Road signs

Road signs conform in general with those laid down by the Protocol on Road Signs and Signals (Geneva, 1949) and the Convention on Road Signs and Signals (Vienna, 1968).

Some signs which are different are the following:

a blue square with a curved white arrow and a distance in metres indicates where a U-turn is permitted

a blue square with a white figure indicates the maximum speed advisable

a blue rectangle with the symbol of a camera indicates the viewpoint for a beauty spot

The stop sign is a red octagon bearing the word STOP in white (model B,2a of the 1968 Convention).

Road markings

Lines and markings are white except:

yellow zigzag = parking prohibition

yellow line along the kerb = parking prohibition or restriction

yellow criss-cross pattern at an intersection = do not enter unless the exit is clear

blue lines = limited parking

BUS-VAO lanes

When driving into Barcelona (on the C-58) or Madrid (on the A-6), and particularly during the rush hour, drivers may find that some lanes are marked with pannels reading "BUS-VAO".

VAO stands for "Vehículos de Alta Ocupación" ("High Occupancy Vehicles").

This means that those lanes are reserved for buses, for motorcycles and for cars with at least two persons on board - three in the case of the C-58 in Barcelona.

Drink/drug driving:

Legal blood alcohol content limit

The general limit for drivers of private vehicles and cyclists is 0.05%

For drivers of vehicles mentioned below the limit is 0.03%

vehicles with more than 8 passenger seats

vehicles transporting dangerous goods

goods vehicles over 3.5 tonnes

vehicles used for schoolchildren or special transport

public and emergency services vehicles

drivers with less than two years' driving experience

After a traffic accident, all road users have to undergo a breath test.

Alcohol

A driver (or cyclist) suspected of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or who has committed a traffic offence must undergo a breath test for alcohol or a saliva test for drugs.

If he/she refuses, the vehicle may be immobilised by the police, a one- to four-year suspension of the driving permit may be imposed, and he/she may receive a prison sentence of six months to one year.

Tolls

Cash and credit cards may be used for the payment of tolls.

Most motorways have an electronic system of payment known as the Sanef Toll Tag, which allows you to travel on French, Spanish and Portugal motorways without stopping for tolls.

Service areas:

There are many services areas along the Spanish motorways.

Fuel

Unleaded petrol, diesel and LPG are available in spain.

In Spanish, unleaded petrol is gasolina sin plomo, diesel is gasóleo A, and LPG is Autogas.

The fuel SP95-E10, which contains up to 10% of ethanol and 90% of unleaded 95 petrol, is available. This fuel can be used in 60% of petrol-driven cars, especially in recent models.

Means of payment

Credit cards are generally accepted at petrol stations.

Automatic petrol pumps

Automatic petrol pumps are found in some large towns.

Import of fuel

Up to 10 litres of fuel may be imported into Spain in spare cans.

Emergencies:

Emergency telephones linked to an SOS telephone network are installed at two km intervals along the motorways.

Useful numbers:

112 - Here's a really important bit of knowledge; you can dial 112 from anywhere in Europe and an operator will connect you to an emergency service in the country you're visiting. Operators can answer your call in their native language, English, and French.

If you have ever been to Spain or had a friend from Spain, you know that Spaniards have a love affair with seafood. The Spanish crave fresh fish and shellfish of all kinds, from cod to lobster.

If you stop to think about it, the love of seafood is only natural, if you consider that Spain is surrounded on three sides by water -- the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Cantabric Sea to the north and the Mediterranean Sea to the east. As far back as the Romans, plants were built to preserve fish by salting and drying them.

The Bogavante is what we tend to think of lobster in the USA. It is a large crustacean with large claws that are full of tender meat. The Spiny Lobster which is a seabed crustacean without claws is called langosta in Spain and has very tasty meat, indeed. They are boiled and served with sauce, or mixed in a seafood rice dish,

The langoustine or cigala is also called the Norway Lobster or Dublin Bay Prawn. It is a crustacean, but much smaller than its cousin the lobster and of the deep sea variety. Cigalas are slim and orange-pink in color, growing up to 9-10 inches (24 cm) in length. They are found in the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the North Sea, but are not common in the Mediterranean. They are very versatile and in Spain are often prepared by boiling, cooked on a flat grill or fried.

The centollo is a crab that is popular in the North of Spain and has long thin legs and two spines on the front for protection. These crabs can sometimes weigh in at over 8 lbs. These can be used in all sorts of Spanish dishes -- soufflés, croquetas, crab cakes or empanada filling.

This little crab never gets much bigger than 4 inches long, is hard to crack open and has little meat, but is very tasty! It has a blue hue and it seems to be covered in velvet. It is a popular crab in Galicia and is often simply boiled in sea water with a bay leaf.

This type of crab is what we in the US think of as a crab -- large with two large, meaty claws. It can range from about 4 inches to 10 inches in length and can weigh more than 6 pounds! It has a smooth, oval shell covering its body. It can be prepared by boiling it and serving with sauces, in salads or other dishes. The liver is considered especially tasty.

Shrimp has many names in Spanish and comes in many different sizes. Langostinos are probably the largest of the shrimp listed here. They are often times boiled and served cold with salsa rosa or in a vinaigrette sauce. Gambas are medium size shrimp that are served many different ways, the most common being quickly grilled very hot with salt and lemon juice, although gambas al ajillo is a very popular and tasty tapas dish where the shrimp are thrown into a hot frying pan of olive oil, tons of garlic and a dash of paprika and lemon juice and eaten with bread. The smaller camarones are not eaten as much in Spain, are harder to find and command a higher price.

Octopus has eight tentacles and is very tough unless cooked properly. Prepared a feira, the octopus must be pounded well to make it tender. Then it is cooked whole and cut into pieces and seasoned with olive oil, paprika, and salt.

can be prepared several ways. The most popular way is probably to cut them into rings, bread and fry as a tapa and serve with lemon juice. Other ways to prepare calamar is to cook them in their own ink or stuff them with fillings.

Goose Barnacles or Percebe

Yes, you read correctly -- percebes are barnacles! They look like a gooseneck clam and Spaniards love to eat them. The most common way to prepare them is to boil them for 5 minutes in salted water and serve them hot and fresh.

Oysters are often eaten in Spain as they are in the USA and other places - raw! Squirt a bit of lemon juice or a touch of spicy sauce on one and pop it into your mouth for a tasty pleasure. They are also prepared with wine and garlic or breaded and fried.

Razor clams look like long tubes with a shell on them. They are very tasty and usually broiled or steamed and served simply with lemon juice.

In Spain, you will find many varieties of clam, each with their own name. Clams are a very popular item on any menu by themselves or used as an ingredient in soups, stews or rice dishes.

Mussels are also a popular seafood in Spain and you will find them prepared in a thousand different ways -- boiled and sautéed with wine and garlic, cooked with tomato sauce, added to rice dishes, in a vinaigrette sauce or stuffed breaded and fried, like tigres.

These tiny clams are delicious and the meat is often added to soups and rice dishes to give them more flavor, or chopped finely and used in fillings, however many people like to eat them raw with a bit of lemon juice. It is also common to see canned berberechos on a plate with oil and vinegar as an appetizer in Spanish homes.
