Driving Tips in Spain

1. Familiarize Yourself with Local Rules

Spaniards drive on the right-hand side, and overtaking is only allowed on the left. Be mindful of roundabout etiquette; vehicles already on the roundabout have priority unless otherwise indicated.

2. Watch Out for Speed Limits

Speed cameras are common, so stick to the limits: 120 km/h on motorways, 90 km/h on secondary roads, and 50 km/h in towns. Speed limits may change suddenly, so keep an eye on signs.

3. Plan for Toll Roads

Spain has several toll roads ("AP" roads). Carry cash, a credit card, or a toll pass (electronic tag) for seamless payments. If you’re traveling long distances, these roads are quicker and less congested.

4. Park Smartly

In cities, look for designated parking areas or underground car parks. Avoid parking in areas with yellow lines or restricted zones. In blue zones ("Zona Azul"), use a parking meter ticket for time-limited parking.

5. Prepare for Rural Driving

Roads in rural areas can be narrow or winding. Drive cautiously, watch for cyclists and farm vehicles, and keep your headlights on when visibility is low. Always check your fuel level before heading into remote areas.

Travel Tips for Spain

1. Learn Basic Spanish Phrases

While many people speak English in tourist areas, a few key Spanish phrases (like "gracias" and "por favor") go a long way in connecting with locals.

2. Siesta Hours Are Real

Many shops and restaurants close in the afternoon (usually 2–5 PM). Plan your day accordingly, especially when visiting smaller towns.

3. Embrace Tapas Culture

Tapas are a quintessential part of Spanish dining. Instead of ordering large meals, try sharing small plates of local delicacies at multiple spots to experience diverse flavors.

4. Dress for the Weather and Culture

Spain can be hot in summer, so wear light clothing. However, when visiting religious sites like cathedrals, dress modestly to show respect.

5. Use Public Transport in Cities

Major cities like Madrid and Barcelona have excellent public transport systems, including metro and buses. Save your rental car for exploring rural areas or beaches.
