Anyone here from Spain. Just wondering — how different are the traffic signs and driving laws compared to the other in EI? Anything important I should know before if I plan to visit Spain?

I would be thankful for the help!
 
I don't live in Spain but I do visit 2/3 times a year. In general just have your wits about you and you'll be fine. It's much the same except on roundabouts only use the outside (right hand lane). The left lane is for overtaking only and you can't leave the roundabout from this lane.
You can also turn right on a flashing red light.
 
I've driven in Spain loads of times, as above pretty straightforward but just be aware that the police can stop you for a spot check if you have no documents with you then they'll fine you.

I always keep the car hire agreement, driving license and my passport in the car.
