Thanks, I’ll have to risk it due to mobility problems 🙁

I too have mobility issues and I’m 9 months into my application for a Spanish blue badge. In the meantime I have been using my UK badge and fortunately I have had no issues. I’m careful of where I park but have used it at the beach, in the town. I have printed off the below page that I always put out with my UK badge. Hope this might help you.

Thanks for your reply, fingers crossed the local police/traffic wardens will accept if both the badge and notice are displayed

I have noticed though that the link on the notice doesn’t work; I’ve tried to find the page it is trying to link to but can’t find the reference and not sure who’s issued it?
