Main cities are connected with large roads: free tolls motorways (autopista) and 4-lane roads (autovia).
Do respect 100km/h especially on the 4-lane « autovia ». In the event of a control, fines are high and foreigners have to pay immediately in cash.
Spanish are easy-going: be particularly vigilant on week-ends when people leave pubs and nightclubs. Lorries traffic is heavy in Spain: be careful. Outside main roads, tracks are very dusty and do not have a good adherence.
It is common in Spain to indicate its intention to pass by a brief horn (during the day) or a call of headlights by night. In this case the vehicle which is going to be passed is supposed to confirm that the way is free by putting its right indicator.
In Madrid region, we noticed a recrudescence of delinquency aiming tourists while driving. False policemen stop cars pretending an anti-drug control and when checking baggage, they steal money and valuable items. Keep an eye as well on false breakdowns.
