I need a spare number plate for a Spanish registered vehicle for use on my camping trailer.

Can anyone advise on how and where i can obtain a spare number plate.

Thanks in advance

Spoilt for choice. 

Feu Vert, Norauto, and many garages, you just need the vehicle documents. 

I presume you have the neccessary Spanish paperwork for the trailer?

Ok thanks I know Norauto.

As regards the paperwork for the trailer, it’s been brought from England and is only a small camping trailer. My understanding is that it is under the required weight and size limit but I stand to be corrected if this is not the case.

Not that simple I'm afraid. 

Note that 80kph speed limit even on motorways. It's widely ignored of course but still potential grounds for a stop by the Guardian after which your day will rapidly decend into pain and expense!

Thanks for the info and the link regarding towing rules in Spain. It seems the Spanish need paperwork for everything and seem obsessed by anything related to motoring.

Such a shame they don,t apply these rules to recycling and fly tipping but hey ho!
