I do not currently hold a full u.k. driving licence but I hold a provisional, how do I go about getting a moped so I can get from a-b.
I am not sure if I need to take a test or apply for any licence.

Anyone able to help me here

UK provisional licences are not valid outside the UK.

You will need to apply for a "licencia de conducion" in Spain.

There are details here http://www.dgt.es/tramites/conductores/licencias.htm

go down to your local moped shop in the uk and they will put you right if you say you want to buy one.

What does a moped shop in the UK know about Spanish authority to ride mopeds? Not a lot one would imagine.
Come to Spain and ask at a Spanish moped shop and you might get the correct answer!!!!!!

I will be living in spain as of the 8th of December, flights have now been booked

Ah, my reply was based on your hampshire location.
so it had nothing to do with spanish moped licences or moped shops

lol bless !
I might be here for a few weeks but not long and as I have not passed my driving test this could be easier than trying to learn spanish to pass there test

Followed the link but it is all in spanish, better get learning fast.

I tried that as well Amber !!!!
I was very confused , pulls out pocket dictonary and trys to translate, I think I will be living in Spain before I get through this !!!!

Google Languages is your friend

Hi

Could you please tell me how that works

Amber

If you go here:

http://www.google.co.uk/language_tools?hl=en

...and scroll down to:

"Translate a web page"

....put in the web address and presto

Alternatively you can use AltaVista here:

and do the same.

The translations are not brilliant, but it gives you a very rough idea of the translation
