My car is currently in France. My ITV has expired. Do you know if I can get a legal ITV in France or another EU country without re-re-registering the car in another country that would be acceptable by my Spanish Car Insurance company?

I've found the IVTM online for Malaga Province and downloaded my Car Tax IVTM Impuesto.  I want to pay this online and not queue at a bank as I am not in Spain currently . Any ideas how to do this ?  I thought Caixa online used to enable this but I can't see a web page now on their Site to do it(or any other bank) . I don't have a Spanish Bank account, a german one and a Euro debit card.  Help appreciated.

we are looking to move from france to spain. we originally came from the uk. In france the insurance companies will take into account your uk no claims discount when setting  up a policy. we had full ncd in the uk. we now also have full ncd in france as we have driven for four years here without claims. is there any arrangement in spain to take into account the ncd obtained in the uk and other EU countries so you dont have to start your spanish policy from scratch?  thanks

Hi my husband is a keen biker and as we are house sitting near Malaga for 2 months from Dec 17th he wants to do some off road motorcyling if at all possible. Is there anyone that can advise on best price/place to hire bike from or do you have a spare bike he can hire from you? Please get in touch if you have any ideas as I am sure that a few away days to blow out the cobwebs will be great.  PS will give me time to grab the remote as well! Thanks any help or advice would be appreciated
