With this newly designed 2011 edition You & the Law in Spain celebrates twenty-five years of helping foreigners navigate the minefield of Spanish law. While the cover design may be familiar to regular users, the book is now divided into five generic ‘content’ areas which have reflected users’ key information needs over the years, namely

 The inclusion of an enhanced “What’s New in …” feature will help in more easily accessing the new pieces of legislation that have come into being since the previous edition of the book. Key items covered for 2011 include: the new anti-smoking law effected at the beginning of the year; belated harmonisation of Spanish practice with EU practice in the area of property rental; and the changed status of certain traffic violations to criminal offences with correspondingly harsh punitive consequences. In accordance with readers’ requests the increasingly popular “What to do” feature introduced three years ago has been expanded and is now incorporated into the thematically relevant section. Finally the images of official documents reproduced in the book have been further enhanced to a high degree of clarity.

With more than two decades now behind it, You & the Law in Spain continues its unchallenged reign as the No.1 reference work for anyone with a stake in Spain.
