ITV. Inspección Técnica de Vehículos.

In Spain, the periodic road worthiness inspection, is the ITV. (Inspeccion Tecnica de Vehiculos – Vehicle Technical Inspection). Like the UK MoT test, it's mandatory for all road going vehicles, and driving without a valid ITV can result in fines.
I was starting to worry, because it was due last November, but there was a huge backlog at the two testing centres on the island due to staff strikes. We managed to get an appointment for this morning, and the car passed with no faults. Next test due in 2 years. Another worry allieviated - the new passport I ordered online last month finally arrived yesterday, in all its grand sovereign livery. I much prefer the European version.
