I hear that since 19th Jan 2013 Britons who are resident in Spain must have their driving licence altered/renovated. However different sites advise different things. http://www.tumbit.com/how-to-guides/articles/21-how-to-apply-for-a-spanish-driving-licence.html says it is only a recommendation if you have a plastic UK licence but http://www.thinkspain.com/hottopics/drivingcarsinspain/licences.asp says you must go to get it stamped at Trafico Alicante. Anybody know for definite?
