What is the route from the Czech Republic to Spain?

We reach Spain through Germany and France. For Catalonia and the east coast the route runs via Nuremberg, Stuttgart, Mulhouse and Lyon, down the Rhône valley to Montpellier and across the Le Perthus–La Jonquera crossing to Barcelona – about 1,700 km from Prague. For Madrid, the Basque Country and the north we drive via Bordeaux and the Hendaye–Irún crossing; Madrid is around 2,250 km away.

Valencia is about 2,050 km from Prague and Andalusia over 2,600 km. According to our transit time overview we plan 3–4 days from loading; with two drivers it is faster.

Where we go in Spain – industrial centres

We most often head to these cities and industrial areas with manufacturing and automotive companies:

  • Madrid – production, logistics
  • Barcelona – SEAT, chemicals
  • Valencia – Ford, port
  • Zaragoza – Opel/Stellantis
  • Bilbao – steel, port
  • Seville – aerospace
  • Málaga – technology
  • Vigo – Stellantis, port
  • Valladolid – Renault

What do we transport to Spain?

To Spain we mainly carry parts and components for car plants in Catalonia, Navarre, Aragon, Valencia and Galicia, engineering products, glass, building materials and palletised goods for distribution centres around Madrid, Barcelona and Zaragoza.

On the long route to Spain it pays to fill the truck – smaller shipments are therefore combined as part loads, and for large volumes we recommend a two-driver crew.

Which tolls and rules apply in Spain?

  • Tolls: Germany charges a distance-based toll and French motorways are tolled. In Spain most motorways (autovías) are free; only some sections are tolled (autopistas de peaje), for example in the Basque Country and Navarre.
  • Driving ban: in France vehicles over 7.5 t may not drive from Saturday 22:00 to Sunday 22:00. In Spain restrictions are regional, mainly in Catalonia and the Basque Country at weekends and on holidays.
  • Pyrenees: snow is possible on mountain sections and passes in winter, so winter equipment is on board as a precaution.
  • Canary Islands: they are outside the EU tax territory – shipments there need customs documents.

What do we transport from Spain to the Czech Republic?

From Spain to the Czech Republic we carry fruit and vegetables (temperature-controlled), ceramic tiles from the Castellón area, automotive parts, olive oil, wine and food. We load in Catalonia, Valencia, Murcia, Andalusia, Madrid, the Basque Country and Galicia.

We also run the return direction. See Freight transport from Spain to the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Frequently asked questions

Can you arrange regular transport to Spain, there and back?
Yes. We arrange regular transport to Spain on fixed days and, if you like, there and back: the vehicle delivers your goods and loads the next consignment on the way back, such as returnable packaging or goods for your warehouse. The rate is agreed for a longer period.
How long does transport to Spain take?
Transport to Spain usually takes 3–4 days from loading, and we arrange a vehicle within 24 hours.
Which route does a truck take from the Czech Republic to Spain?
The truck drives through Germany and France – to Barcelona and the east via Lyon and the La Jonquera crossing, to Madrid and the north via Bordeaux and the Irún crossing. We choose the route by the unloading place.
How many kilometres is it from Prague to Madrid?
Prague to Madrid is about 2,250 km by road, Barcelona around 1,700 km and Valencia roughly 2,050 km. From Brno these routes are about 150–200 km longer.
Do trucks pay tolls in Spain?
Most Spanish motorways (autovías) are free; only some sections are tolled, for example in the Basque Country and Navarre. On the way, however, you pay the German toll and French motorway tolls – all included in our quote.
When are trucks banned from driving in Spain?
In Spain driving restrictions are regional, mainly in Catalonia and the Basque Country at weekends and on holidays. On the route through France the ban from Saturday 22:00 to Sunday 22:00 also applies.
Why does transport to Spain take 3–4 days?
The route to Spain is 1,700–2,600 km long and the driver must keep to breaks and rest periods. According to our transit time overview we therefore plan 3–4 days; with two drivers it is faster.
Do you deliver to car plants in Spain?
Yes, we deliver parts and components to the industrial areas around Barcelona (Martorell), Pamplona, Zaragoza, Valencia, Vitoria and Vigo. We confirm the unloading slot in advance.
Do you carry fruit and vegetables from Spain?
Yes, we carry fruit and vegetables from Murcia, Almería and Valencia in temperature-controlled trucks. We agree the temperature and the harvest or loading date in advance.
Do you carry single pallets to Spain?
Yes, single pallets for Spain travel as part loads with other shipments. On the long route this makes small volumes considerably cheaper.
Do you serve the ports of Valencia, Barcelona and Algeciras?
Yes, we deliver goods for vessels to Valencia, Barcelona and Algeciras and load containers there. For containers we need the shipping line details in good time.
Do you deliver to the Canary Islands?
The Canary Islands are outside the EU tax territory, so shipments need customs documents and travel by ferry from the mainland. We assess such enquiries individually.
Is transport to Spain free of customs duty?
Yes, EU goods travel to mainland Spain and the Balearics without customs duty. The exceptions are the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla, which lie outside the EU tax territory.
Do you carry ceramic tiles from Spain?
Yes, we carry tiles from the Castellón area regularly. Because ceramics are heavy we watch the maximum payload and the number of pallets.
Do you also carry goods from Spain to the Czech Republic?
Yes, we handle imports from Spain regularly – fruit and vegetables, tiles, car parts, olive oil and wine. We load anywhere in Spain and deliver across the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
