Since Great Britain split from the European Union, negotiations have been taking place with each European country about using UK Blue Badges and where they are formally recognised. Since September 2021, the gov.uk website has declared that UK disability parking badges are not recognised or valid anywhere in Spain.
Those wishing to park on disabled spots in Spain must be in possession of a Spanish disability badge, which can be obtained from the regional government website where you will be based in Spain.
However, these international guidelines are subject to change, so travellers to Spain and expats living in Spain are advised to check with the Spanish embassy or even the local authority where applicable.
