NB DOES NOT APPLY TO CANCARY ISLANDS!
The rise in oil prices is already being reflected in gasoline and diesel, although with some time lag. To reduce the financial impact when refueling, the energy decree-law approved by the Government includes the following measures:
𝐕𝐀𝐓 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐮𝐞𝐥:
VAT drops from 21% to 10%, which means savings of up to €0.30 per liter, depending on the fuel type — around €20 per average tank, according to Sánchez.
𝐋𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐝𝐮𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐲𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐬:
The special tax on fuels is also reduced.
𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬:

Transport workers
Farmers
Livestock breeders
Fishermen
𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙙𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩
The measures will take effect as soon as they are published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), expected this Saturday.
However, they must be ratified by Parliament to remain in force.
The vote is scheduled for Thursday, March 26.

The long-awaited European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) is finally scheduled to roll out later in 2026, adding a new mandatory step to your pre-holiday checklist.
This change specifically targets travellers from Britain and other non-EU countries who previously enjoyed visa-free travel. Under the new rules, visitors aged between 18 and 70 will need to apply for official authorisation online before they fly. This "visa-waiver" will come with a processing fee of approximately €20 (around £17).
It is vital to understand that this is not an optional extra; without a valid ETIAS, you will not be allowed to enter Tenerife. While the online application process is expected to be straightforward, thousands could be caught out when the system goes live. Keep an eye on official updates to ensure your next trip to the sun goes smoothly!

The Ministry of the Interior has announced on its official social media channels that, from this week onwards, e-scooters must be registered in the National Vehicle Register.
Drivers who do not register their scooter and do not have the mandatory insurance may face 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐨 €𝟖𝟎𝟎.
For those who already have insurance, it is important to note that under the new Insurance 𝐋𝐚𝐰 𝟓/𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓, there are now minimum compulsory coverage amounts that every policy must meet.
If the policy does not reach these minimum limits, the scooter will be considered as 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 and the user may still be fined.
The minimum insurance cover required is:
𝐃𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬:
* at least €𝟔,𝟒𝟓𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 per claim, regardless of the number of victims.
𝑫𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒚:
at least €𝟏,𝟑𝟎𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 per claim.
This means:
* Your scooter must be registered.
* You must have third-party liability insurance.
* The insurance must meet the minimum legal amounts.
* Lower cover = considered uninsured = possible fine.
𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙞𝙢 𝙩𝙤:
* improve road safety,
* protect victims in case of accidents,
* and ensure that all users take responsibility for any damage caused.
𝑰𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒂𝒏 𝒆-𝒔𝒄𝒐𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒓, 𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒄𝒌:
* that it is registered,
* that your insurance policy is valid,
* and that the cover meets the new legal requirements.

E-SCOOTERS & MOBILITY VEHICLES - What changes from January 26th?

According to the DGT (Spanish Directorate General of Traffic), personal mobility vehicles (PMVs) weighing over 25 kg and with a maximum speed exceeding 14 km/h will be required to have insurance, even though there is not yet a specific registry for these vehicles.
Law 5/2025 establishes a transitional period for this insurance requirement, ending on January 26, 2026, as outlined in its transitional provision. However, for so-called light personal vehicles (LPMs), the insurance requirement is contingent upon the creation of an official registry, which is not yet fully regulated.

The DGT has clarified that the technical development of the PMV registry is complete, but the Royal Decree that will provide its legal framework is still being processed. The Council of Ministers agreed on November 18, 2025, to expedite its processing. Although the public consultation and information process has concluded, the Traffic Authority acknowledges that it was not possible to approve the Royal Decree before January 2nd, therefore the general registration requirement is postponed.
Until the registry is properly regulated and operational, prior registration and mandatory insurance for light personal vehicles will not be required, except in the cases already expressly stipulated by law. Furthermore, the DGT (Spanish Directorate General of Traffic) reminds the public that personal mobility vehicles (PMVs) sold from 2024 onwards must have a certificate for their use. Those sold up to January 21, 2024, may be used without this certificate until January 22, 2027. After that date, only those that comply with the specifications manual and have a PMV certificate number will be permitted. The Traffic Authority emphasizes that not everything sold as a scooter legally meets the definition of a PMV.
PMV - The General Vehicle Regulations define these devices as electric vehicles with one or more wheels, a single seat, and a maximum design speed between 6 and 25 km/h.

Qué cambia a partir del 26 de enero
Según ha comunicado la DGT, los vehículos de movilidad personal con un peso superior a 25 kg y una velocidad máxima superior a 14 km/h deberán contar obligatoriamente con un seguro, incluso aunque todavía no exista un registro específico operativo para estos vehículos. La Ley 5/2025 contempla un periodo transitorio para este aseguramiento que finaliza el 26 de enero de 2026, tal y como recoge su disposición transitoria. En cambio, para los denominados vehículos personales ligeros, la obligación de aseguramiento queda vinculada a la creación de un registro oficial, que aún no está plenamente regulado.
La DGT ha aclarado que el desarrollo técnico del registro de VMP ya está finalizado, pero que el Real Decreto que debe darle cobertura jurídica continúa en tramitación. El Consejo de Ministros acordó el 18 de noviembre de 2025 su tramitación por la vía de urgencia. Aunque los trámites de audiencia e información pública ya han concluido, Tráfico reconoce que no ha sido posible aprobar el real decreto antes del 2 de enero, por lo que la obligación general de inscripción queda aplazada. Hasta que el registro esté debidamente regulado y operativo, no será exigible la inscripción previa ni el aseguramiento obligatorio de los vehículos personales ligeros, salvo en los supuestos ya contemplados expresamente por la ley. Por otro lado, la DGT recuerda que los VMP comercializados desde 2024 deben contar con certificado para su uso. Los vendidos hasta el 21 de enero de 2024 podrán circular sin dicho certificado hasta el 22 de enero de 2027. A partir de esa fecha, solo podrán hacerlo aquellos que cumplan con el manual de características y dispongan de un número de certificado VMP. Tráfico insiste en que no todo lo que se vende como patinete cumple legalmente con la definición de VMP. El Reglamento General de Vehículos define estos dispositivos como vehículos eléctricos de una o más ruedas, de una sola plaza y con una velocidad máxima por diseño comprendida entre 6 y 25 km/h.

Cyclists face fines ranging from €100 to €200

Previously given a blind eye to by many. Riding on pavements is one of the most frequent offences, carrying an immediate €100 on-the-spot penalty. Safety experts stress that pedestrian pavements are reserved exclusively for pedestrians, yet many cyclists continue to use them to avoid road traffic

Crossing a pedestrian zebra crossing without dismounting is another major focus for authorities. This specific no-no results in a whopping €200 fine. Furthermore, the lack of proper lighting or reflective clothing during night hours or low-visibility conditions carries a €200 penalty, as visibility remains a primary factor in preventing fatal collisions on shared roads.
