SPAIN LIVE Service - from Mallorca are always horror stories about the forced closure of expensive cars with German, Austrian and Swiss flag by the English police. Even if the rest of the country tolerant and is handled already in the Balearic Islands with neighboring foreign cars: You should re-register his car as a resident but better.
