Albert van der Werf from the Netherlands and his partner Monika Telkes set out to find a holiday home in Southern Europe, without deciding in advance exactly where it should be located. Italy, Portugal and various destinations in Spain were all considered. What they did have a clear idea of were the requirements their ideal location needed to meet.

A spontaneous visit to the NB-ESTATES office in Antwerp eventually brought the Costa Blanca into the picture. With personal advice and guidance on the ground, they refined their choices step by step. The result: a beautiful apartment in Alicante.

“The cooperation and guidance were fantastic.”

From 1 October 2026, several traffic rules in Spain will be amended and tightened. Particular attention is being given to the protection of cyclists, pedestrians, motorcyclists and users of electric scooters. There are also changes for motorists and motorhome drivers. Do you live in Spain, own a second home here or regularly travel on Spanish roads? Then it is important to be aware of these changes.

The changes form part of a reform of Spain’s Reglamento General de Circulación (General Traffic Regulations) and are set out in Royal Decree 518/2026. The regulations are being adapted to changing mobility in Spain, with additional emphasis on the safety of vulnerable road users. Some rules are entirely new, while other existing requirements are being tightened or clarified.

What changes from 1 October 2026?

  • Stricter rules when overtaking cyclists and other vulnerable road users
  • A mandatory emergency corridor for emergency services in traffic jams
  • Extension of seat belt requirements for certain professional drivers
  • New requirements for motorcyclists, including protective gloves and closed footwear
  • Tighter rules for cyclists and greater protection in urban areas
  • A minimum age of 15 and compulsory helmet use for electric scooter users
  • Clearer rules on parking motorhomes
  • Greater protection for pedestrians and children around schools
  • New and tightened rules concerning visibility, traffic lights and driving in snow

On 29 and 30 August, NB-ESTATES was present at the 24 Hours of Zolder alongside NGT Racing and VR Racing. A partnership we are particularly proud of, crowned by two fantastic results: an overall victory for NGT Racing and second place in the GT Sport class for VR Racing by NGT Racing.
