Hi

In the UK I have a blue disabled badge for parking.  Does anyone know if this remains a valid thing in spain?

It should have the EU circle of stars, and it is valid.

However, and it's a big however, it can only be used for disabled parking spaces that do not have a sign giving a registration number of a particular vehicle.

You cannot park on the street in a no parking area, usually identified by a yellow line or kerb, or on a road signed at its beginning as being a clearway.

Thanks. That’s really helpful and something of a relief. You don’t realise how much you come to rely on these things until you think your not able to use them. 

Regards.

Thanks Tony. 

That’s helpful. I’m actually hoping and praying that the climate in Spain will be such that I won’t need my blue badge for long. It’s good to know that I can use it either til it expires or I’m running mini marathons, whichever comes first. 

Regard. 

Geo.
