New Laws

New laws in Spain include:

Smoking
2011, Spain’s smoking ban came into force making it illegal to smoke in indoor public places i.e. bars, restaurants, airports, shopping centers etc. Smoking is also illegal outside hospitals, schools and childrens play parks.

Fines for breaking these laws range from €30 to €600 and are being strictly enforced.

To be aware of:

There are also strict controls on drinking and sexual activity in public places, including beaches, where regulations have increased significantly. Fines range from €30-€1,500.

Speed Limit
The  speed limit on motorway was 110 km until 31 July. It has now reverted to 120Km. Spain now has quite a lot of  speeding cameras and controls.
