I've only found your channel in the past few days and really like the vids. You speak very clearly, give all the necessary details and I appreciate that you also give the viewers very useful tips. Muchas gracias. 👍
We will rent on arrival at the Madrid airport, then head north to Bilbao, and west to Altamira, then Gallicia, then down to Seville , with side trips around Andalucia. Finally, back to Madrid. After returning the car, we will enjoy Madrid. We always like to stay in the old part of town, and no hostals or hotels have parking. It looks like we will be paying $25 / day to park, for a car that costs less than $50 ! Thanks for sharing all your wisdom, Tony.
Wow...Thank you, will be in Spain October and November (3 weeks). Will be driving from Barcelona to Zaragoza, Toledo then Madrid and finally Lisbon...this was a great video...thank you so much... I've seen it already 3 times and trying to stick it into my head... Also I've seen your other ones.... U R DA BEST !!!!!! - USA - North Carolina
Thank you this has been very helpful to prepare for my trip! I enjoy how you take the time to cover both cities and the countryside, as we will be following La Vuelta this year and will be seeing both along the way!
Thank YOU! Following La Vuelta must be a thrilling experience. Mind you, they move hundreds of vehicles and parking wherever the finish line of the stage is might become something of an issue. I'm sure you have an incredible time! All the best.
Very detailed information.. Thank you Seems like the traffic rules are not a big deal at all since i think its the same as here in Germany. I am planning to take a road trip to Spain in May, but im not too much into big cities except Barcelona, other than that, would like to drive along the coastlines and when it comes to food maybe more spanish traditional foods and more of their culture Thnx again
Hi there, May is a great time for a road trip and your intentions for your trip sound good! On top of that, we hope the pandemic situation will be much much better come May!
Could you add a video on how to fill up your car's gas tank in Spain? What the different fuel types are, typical gas station hours, whether self-service gas stations are common, etc.?
Ugh! The thing I hate most about traveling in Spain...PARKING! Another thing that makes it complicated is that parking spaces can have different color lines (blue, yellow, orange, white, etc) with each having certain restrictions. Some are pay spaces. but even then, that doesn't apply all the time. Sundays and evenings after 8 PM can be free. And our little tourist town removes the pay kiosks during the low season. It can be nerve-wracking. Otherwise, thanks for another informative video!
Another excellent video with very practical tips. My family of 7 will be renting a 9-seater to tour Spain and while researching for places to park, I found out that not all parking garages can accommodate such a big vehicle. Most have height restrictions that one needs to be mindful of. Perhaps you can include this information in your video. Also enroute from one city to another, we plan to stop at some attractions along the way but are concerned that our luggage will be in the car. The vehicle does not have a covered boot. Any tips on how to minimise the risk of break-ins?
Thank you, Catherine. We would need additional resources to devote time to research the issue of parking lot heights. It's important indeed, but we would need to tour the main cities of Spanish looking specifically for it. Stopping with your card loaded is always a huge concern. What do you mean when you say your vehicle doesn't have a covered boot? A 9-seater should have one. The only foul-proof way of preventing a break-in is to park your vehicle reversing it against a wall. And even so, if the thieves felt the reward was good enough, they might attempt to break in through the sides.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Probably they meant it is a hatchback with a liftgate. But you can cover it up by installing the parcel shelf. That looks innocent enough to thieves.
Hello there, electric charge parking is at a very early stage in Spain, you will struggle to find a public charging station - other than the ones at service stations. Some malls offer it for free to their customers but there are few stations available. All the best.
HI, this is a very helpful video, We are going to take a trip for Andalucia and decided to rent a Roadsurfer. My fear is where to park these vans on those little towns.cities like Granada, Malaga, Ronda, Marvella, etc. Do you have some suggestions? Thank you so much in advance.
Hello there. Each town and city has specific regulations for parking big vehicles, but we haven't done any research on the topic yet. Best would be to search for a source of information with specific knowledge of the field. All the best!
Hi, thank you very much for your very informative and interesting videos. I am visiting Spain this coming spring. I understand there are also green parking lots. Can you explain what these lots are? Thank you.
I have a question please. I'm renting a car for one day just to explore the rural parts of Andalusia. There are several Torres I want to see. For some, the only way is to park in the grass at the side of a nearby rural road then walk across a field to the Torres. Is that a normal thing to do in Spain or will the authorities get upset? Thank you again for the amazing videos!
Hi Mark, if it's a rural road and for as long as you don't obstruct the passage of vehicles, you should be ok, but the safest thing would be to ask at the people in the Torres you'll be visiting. All the best!
According to the UK government, "UK Blue Badge recognition across Spain decided by local administrations". Which means you will have to ask wherever you go before you park. Before Brexit, it was recognized everywhere.
Excellent video thanks. Going on my first trip to Spain with my caravan and a little concerned on using the pertrolpix automatic fuel pumps. Do they have English instruction?
Our pleasure! You cannot expect English instructions at all the gas stations (not all of them are automatic). We are planning a video on the topic, hope it will be ready some time during the first quarter of 2024.
Was not expecting English at all gas stations was just asking if Petrolprix gas stations have English instruction as I know they are automatic. Thanks Eddie @@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal
@@edwardhouston8838 apologies, Eddie, we misunderstood your question. We are not familiar with Petropix gas stations as there are none in our region nor we've ever used them elsewhere.
Thanks for the Video Tony! , Its very useful . We are driving to Spain from the UK , so we will be in a large car , are there Park and Rides around main cities so that we can park our car and ride into the cities ? Is there a Map for such parking lots in Spain and is there an APP taht i can use for the same ? Thanks for your help .
Hello Ashok, park and ride is not as coomon in Spain as it is in the UK. The term you should be looking for is “aparcamiento disuasorio”. No resource about them we are aware of.
Thanks for this informative video Tony. We'll be traveling around Spain and Portugal by car with my elderly mother. Could we get a handicap permit in Spain?
Thank you for your wonderful content! Is there a place where I can have my car parked my car for 6 months for a reasonable price? I appreciate your help.
Hola Tony, great video. Can you tell me if the speed limits are the same for all vehicles or do they differ for certain types of vehicle? For example, in the UK ,if your vehicle weighs more than 3500kg then you have to drive slower than the posted limits on certain types of road. Muchas gracias.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal thanks for the quick reply! I ask with motorhomes and campervans in mind. Mine can do 70mph on motorways just like cars, but on lesser roads it has to be 60mph on dual carriageways where cars can do 70, and 50mph on single carriageways where cars can do 60. I am just trying to find out if the rules are similar in Spain.
@@brassmonkey01 understood. Motorhomes and camper vans have the same limitations as cars. Caravans have slower speed limits. More official info (in Spanish) here: www.dgt.es/muevete-con-seguridad/viaja-seguro/en-autocaravana/
I plan to visit Spain in the spring and am handicapped. Will the handicapped parking placard issued here in the US be honored when used in a rental car in Spain?
Hi Jean, we don't think the car model is an issue, it is rather a question of being discreet when you park your car and never open the trunk when you do so.
What about situations when you face: - green parking marking - blue parking marking (already been explained) - white parking marking - orange parking marker What do those mean?
Green tends to indicate spaces with priority for residentes. White is general parking. Orange is residents only. But each one of those colors can mean different things depending on the city where you find them.
Parking is the second most annoying thing about driving in Spain, the first being the illogical rules regarding roundabouts. Few parking spaces, double or even triple parking, other cars taking up two spaces, parking too close so you can't get back in your car and my 'favourite', why is your wing mirror always moved, even with plenty of space around ?
Hi there, that is a truly thorny issue, because each local authority is responsible for issuing their own rules on the matter. Regulations are different in Barcelona than in Madrid, for instance. As a general rule, areas which are of exclusive use by pedestrians are off-limits. Seek advice from the local tourist office on the cities you visit so you make sure you avoid being fined.

I m planning for road trip for a week. Taking rent a car from Madrid. The hotel I booked is Ramada Getafe. Please let me know what is the easiest way to drive and Park car at any free spot and go directly to city center. The most easiest. I be in Spain on Friday and Saturday. Secondly how to reach you over email ??
Ramata Getafe is in the middle of an industrial estate south of Madrid, we are not familiar with the region and we would not advice anyone planning to do tourism in Madrid to stay there. You will have to ask the hotel about on-street parking in the region. Here's how to get to the hotel: goo.gl/maps/fSXszJD93UCKJUaP6 We intend to provide a consultancy service in the future, but so far we only reply to queries here on RUclips.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal the hotel has parking. my question is if i drive my car from hotel towards city centre. where i can confortabily park my car and ride to city centre without any hasstle. what are the places near to city centre where i can park either free of limited charge.
We are not familiar with the south region of Madrid so cannot pinpoint the location of park and ride alternatives. Perhaps you could ask at the hotel you are staying, they might have the information you are looking for. There are paid underground car parks in the centre of Madrid.
