Driving in a foreign country can be frightening and even the most confident drivers should take extra special care and ensure they abide by the Spanish driving laws.
The alcohol limit is also stricter than in some other countries with the law set at no more the 0.5mg alcohol/ millilitre of blood.
Speed limits in Spain must be adhered to or heavy fines may be payable so make sure you don't go over 120km/ hour on motorways, 90-100 km/hour on open roads and 50 km/hour in towns.
Always make sure you are ensured in your hire car to give yourself the upmost security whilst driving in Alicante and the rest of Spain.
