Driving

Driving here has rules that catch out residents, not just visitors. A DGT environmental label decides which city centres you may enter, and the low-emission zones now reach well past Madrid and Barcelona. Licence exchange has a deadline that starts when you become resident, not when you notice. And a fine follows you across borders more reliably than most people expect. This is what to know before it costs you.
