Could any of you seasoned travellers,please tell me of any requirements i need to know to tow on spanish roads,eg can i put bicycles on the back of my car, any equipment i need to carry with me. Many thanks and happy camping this summer.
The diagonal red and white striped sign indicates an overhang at the rear of a vehicle. I doubt if it would be needed if there was a caravan behind bikes mounted on the back of a car.High-vis vests are required in Spain for anyone leaving a disabled vehicle standing by the roadside, but I guess you've already heard about that.
If you carry bicycles (or any other load that overhangs the rear of the vehicle) you must display a 50x50cm sign with diagonal red and white stripes. You can buy it locally at any car accessory shop.
Use of headsets for telephoning while driving is forbidden.
The speed limits when towing are 50kph in built-up areas, 70kph outside and 80kph on minimum of one full lane of road in each direction and motorways.
A second warning triangle is not a legal requirement in Spain for foreign registered vehicles.High-vis vests are required in Spain for anyone leaving a disabled vehicle standing by the roadside, but I guess you've already heard about that.

Hi Lutz,A second warning triangle is not a legal requirement in Spain for foreign registered vehicles.
