Blue License Plates Spain Morocco Route MRE Guide
When crossing Spain to reach Morocco this summer, many MREs are likely to notice an unusual detail on certain vehicles: a blue license plate at the rear.
No need to panic, it is neither a police vehicle nor a special device. In Spain, these blue plates are mainly used to identify authorized taxis and ride-sharing vehicles. They are placed at the rear of the vehicle, with white characters, while the front plate generally remains white, like on other cars.
