Driving
Driving around Spain's major cities can be a nerve-wracking experience and parking fines of up to £80 are common for offenders. Many cities have one-way routes and left turns can be a rarity. Drivers using Spain's highways must legally rest every two hours; fines are a constant threat to those that don't adhere to this law. The procedure at most filling stations is to fill the tank first and then pay after, although this varies from station to station.
