Spain tourist plates? Going to Cape Town.
 
I plan on arriving in Barcelona with my Spanish NIE to purchase a bike there.

Can I register the bike with just my NIE in order to get tourist plates?

Will I have any issue using tourist plates traveling through West Africa enroute to Cape Town?

Does RACE (auto association) of Spain issue my a Carnet for a bike with tourist plates?

What is the best option for insurance? Will I need green card in Europe for the short duration and just purchase insurance in each country I pass through?

Thanks.

The NIE is just a tax reference. I suspect you will need an empadronamiento which shows your valid address in Spain.

But the dealer will tell you.

k

Barcelona is now the capital of Catalunya and no longer part of Spain, as of a couple of days ago - all depending on where your affinities lie.

Tim,

I plan on buying used and don't have a resident status in Spain. Will I be able to register a used bike under tourist plates?

Are you confusing the concept of German export plates with Spanish tourist plates?

What benefit are you assuming you will be receiving?

I drove a van on Dutch export plates (valid for 15 days) through to West Africa without a problem, considering I was in Europe for 16 days ... no one uttered a word, all the paperwork was in order. The export paperwork was only relevant in the EU
