Re: car insurance in Spain ?
Spanish insurance companies are not allowed to insure foreign registered vehicles. UK vehicles, if they are insured at all, are usually covered by dodgy Gibraltar based companies with agents in Spain.
All may seem OK for a while but just watch out if you get stopped by the police or have an accident.
