The thing which caught me out the most was left turn lanes which have
you exiting to the right and then looping left to cross at a right
angle. It works well when you expect it but, initially, it was a shock.

Hi,

We're flying to Madrid the first week of July and will be driving a rented
car from Madrid to a town in Andalucia (between Granada and Galera).

Do any of you have any tips or things to watch out for when driving
in Spain?

I realize I'll need an international driving permit but any other
useful information/things to watch out for would be appreciated.

thanks,
