Finely though the nightmare of getting my car on Spanish plates when I got the next shock. Car insurance, quick call to línea directa quote 1000 a year, way more than I was paying in Germany. Talked to several people who said they are paying the same. Did some shopping around and got a quote for 489 from Hamilton Insure

So what are you paying?

sounds steep!!!

we pay 525 euros/year for full coverage on our citröen c3.

we use mutua madrileña - www.mutua-mad.es ( since i know you are spanish-challenged Rob nah nah wink , the site is in english at http://www.mutua-mad.es/webmma/jsp/IN/18index.jsp )

we have been with them for 6 years but even when we started we did not pay more than 650 euros.

OUCH big neative to having spanish plates, had a knock on the door and signed for a letter from Traffico, bad news, worse when I opened it

450 Euro fine

Big time ouch! Tickets here are insane! I can't quite make out what it's for but once I find out I'll post

BTW now that we are staying in madrid I am pushing myself to learn Spanish, up to this point we were unsure if they may move us back or not.

update, stopped in at townhall and I simply need to go to traffico in Madrid and present my DL and pay 10 euros. I guess it has to do with when the car got inpounded.

Better than a massive fine but still a pain in the butt!
