Which actually highlights a serious consideration.
If you have a UK licence here in Spain with a Spanish address as a resident .... if you lose your licence, the DVLA will not issue you with another one, and the Spanish wont give you one as you dont have a UK licence. So would you have to take your test in Spain to get a Spanish Licence? Thats what I'm told
