Hello Everyone

Is anyone aware of the rules regarding using a Blue Badge for parking in Spain?

Information seems very confusing. 

Thank You for any help

Did your Spanish Blue Badge not come with a list of how and where to use it.

You could you Google translate, if your Spanish is not up to scratch. Or ask the department who issued the badge.

Obviously a blue badge issued in the U.K. no longer be used.

No sorry, the driving licence issue is between Spain and the U.K it’s those two countries having discussions about licence exchange. Those talks have been ongoing for the past 2  years

The U.K. blue badge is no longer valid anywhere in the EU, so for you to be able to use your blue badge in Europe the U.K. would have to open negotiations with Brussels.

Fortunately as you are not a resident the driving licence issue, is of no concern, you are still able to drive with your U.K. licence
