Tolls in Spain
Spain charges tolls on some motorways and has no vignette. The toll class for a motorhome or a car towing a caravan depends on the road and the vehicle configuration. Check the local rules before entering a low emission zone. Barcelona may require advance registration for foreign number plates.
