Compared to driving habits in the UK, Spanish driving may seem a bit aggressive. Remember to stay calm and observant to avoid any mishaps. Here is some valuable information for your navigation:
Driving Rules
Unlike the UK, driving in Spain is on the right-hand side with the driver's seat and controls on the left. Roundabouts are relatively common in Spain. Vehicles already in the roundabout have the right of way.
Car Class Recommendations
Whilst compact cars are ideal for city travelling and easy parking, SUVs are perfect for off-road adventures around the province.
Parking
Street parking is often limited. Public car parks and hotels usually offer car parking facilities, so be sure to check this when booking accommodation.
Speed Limits
Speed limits vary depending on the type of road. Typically, in built-up areas, the maximum speed is 50km/h, main roads 90km/h and on motorways, the limit is 120km/h.
