Barcelona is Spain's second-largest market for vehicle imports. With a 5% ITP in Catalonia, costs are slightly higher than Madrid, but logistics are excellent: the Port of Barcelona is one of the largest in the Mediterranean and receives vehicles from across Europe and overseas. Proximity to the French border (La Jonquera is just 150 km away) makes road transport from Germany, France and the rest of the EU easy. Note that Barcelona has a Low Emission Zone (ZBE) restricting vehicles with unfavourable DGT labels — verify the environmental label before buying.
