The Spanish government has begun to study how it will introduce tolls on all of the country’s motorways, but given the opposition these plans have faced in the current climate of spiralling costs, they may have to reconsider.
Spain is known by its European neighbours as being almost a ‘toll-free paradise’, but pressure from Brussels could mean this uncostly road utopia soon comes to an end.
More than 650km of motorways (mainly in Catalonia) will become toll-free this year, but 2021 may also spell the end of toll-free driving on Spanish dual carriageways.
