Tony,
Before making the calls to insurance companies, I did some more online research. All of which seems to say the same:
Driving in Spain
Drivers licence
Non-Residents can drive in spain on a foreign driving license for a maximum of 6 months in the calendar year.
EU residents can drive on their existing EU license until it runs outs. When it does run out you must apply for a Spanish driving licence. Non-EU residents must obtain a Spanish driving license after one year
So, I donīt know. Even if you have the international license, it appears that once youīre a resident (which I am and I assume you are)for more than a year, you need to get a Spanish license. I suppose that you or anyone can get away with what youīre doing (and believe me I want to do it too!!!), but I wonder:
What happens if, God forbid, youīre in a serious accident that is your fault. Would there be legal implications for someone that is sort of skating around the rules?
I donīt mean to be "pesado" with this because, as I said, Iīm tempted to try to do it too.
What do you think?
