Hi all,
I'm going to have to apply for my Spanish license soon and was wondering firstly if anybody has a good recommendation for an autoescuela in or around the Sant Joan de Alicante, El Campello, Muchamiel areas?
I'd consider elsewhere too if they are good.
Preferably one who speaks English as well as my conversational Spanish is not up to scratch yet although I can use it as a chance to practice I would like to avoid any confusion and it is best that we understand each other.
The other thing is what exactly is the process?
I don't need to be taught how to drive although a refresher and learning the Spanish system will be useful but how long would the whole process take?
Do I have to spend a certain number of hours in a car with an instructor before I can take the test?
I have read mixed reports saying the test is available in English or you can have a translator, what exactly is true?
Are there restrictions placed when you are on your L plates, like number of people in the car or slower speed limits and at what point do you lose the L plates and is there a probationary period after?
Sorry for all the questions but with a family to drive around I need to have a valid license and need to know what I'm in for.
Any advice or recommendations I would be grateful for.
