When driving in Spain, be sure to pay attention to street parking. After parking on the street, be sure to ask the locals if it is free. If it is paid, it is best to find a self-service parking machine, put the money in and print out the ticket to place on the windshield of the car. Otherwise, there is a 60 euro fine. I got caught once in Toledo.. ? Spain Q&A
Buy a card locally, Google Maps is much more convenient. It's not very accurate, and there are many gaps in the road when walking on the Spanish road. It's not an easy walk. The navigation must be powerful. It's best to find a partner to help look at how to go, especially at night when driving on the highway. Pay attention to the speed limit signs. When there is a speed limit, you must slow down. There are no streetlights on the road ? Spain Q&A
Drive for 2 days in Spain. Total 4 days. My credit card has been charged by Avis car rental for several months after I returned the car. Each time it's basically more than 40 euros. Could I have broken the law so many times while driving for 2 days? I can't believe it. I have paid for 3 months in a row, each time more than 40 euros. I'm crying. I drove very steadily on the road, an old driver for many years, and it's impossible for me to break the law so many times. Moreover, I have not received any violation records through email or regular mail. What's going on? I need an explanation ? Spain Q&A
Do you know how to take a taxi in Seville? My flight to Barcelona is at 9 am, and the bus stop to the airport is a bit far from where I'm staying. I want to take a taxi directly to the airport. I'm staying at a guesthouse, and the host is not very helpful. I asked him to help me book a taxi, but his response was not helpful. Can I hail a taxi on the street in Seville at 6:30 in the morning, or do I need to call and book in advance ? Spain Q&A
No solution. Try to improve driving control. Practice GL8 in China. European parking garages with various turns are quite pleasing. Ford's 7-seater is almost rubbing the walls when passing through the garage in Jerez. It's not even clear how to open the driver's door after parking. The parking space is too small. The garage in Cadiz requires cars to enter the elevator. There's no angle to reverse or go straight in a narrow side street for a 7-seater. I parked at a garage next to a church on the main road in Ronda ? Spain Q&A
Is it safe to have luggage in the car at a paid parking lot? Some friends say that the security in Spain is not good, and people might break the glass and steal the luggage. But the luggage will definitely be in the car before checking in. Do I need to get glass insurance at the car rental company ? Spain Q&A
What if the turn signal light is green and the pedestrian light is also green after turning? Should we stop at the original location and wait for the pedestrian light to change before turning right, or should we turn first and then stop in front of the pedestrian light ? Spain Q&A
