UK versus Spanish caravans

I've been told that you cannot tow a Spanish caravan with a UK plated car, does anyone know if this is true.

If that's the case, if you bring a UK car and caravan over to Spain, that's fine, but what happens if you change the UK plates to Spanish matriculation? Does that mean you can no longer tow the UK caravan even though it's with the same car?

hi jools
spanish caravans and trailers need to be tested once a year and have a red reg plate issued the paperwork involved costs around 400 euros from traffico in tarragona
best just stick to a english car to tow a english van

Hi Damo,
Many thanks for that, I thought it was something along those lines, but what if the UK car is changed to Spanish matriculation, can it still pull a UK caravan?
In theory both items are British, it will only be the number plate on the car that changes

the caravan must also be maticulated my friend has just made all the enquirys for his trailer which is the same as a caravan total cost for maticulation itv and plating 1100 euros all spanish caravans and trailers must have paperwork
hope this clarifys it for you
