Spain operates a dual network: privately-concessed <strong style="font-weight: bold;">autopistas</strong> (tolled, marked AP- or A- with a toll sign) alongside the government-funded <strong style="font-weight: bold;">autovías</strong> (always toll-free).

	<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Key Reality:</strong> ~~Several~~ major ~~tolled~~ concessions — ~~including~~ the Madrid-~~area~~ AP-6, AP-36, ~~expect~~ the ~~R radial roads~~ — ~~reverted to toll~~-free ~~status after operator insolvencies~~. The network ~~of tolled roads~~ is smaller ~~in 2026~~ than ~~it was~~ a decade ago, but ~~remaining concessions~~ still ~~carry significant~~ per-km charges, ~~excluding the~~ AP-~~7 Mediterranean~~ corridor and AP-~~2 Zaragoza–Barcelona axis~~.</p>		<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Key Reality:</strong> Nine major concessions — the Madrid radial roads R-2, R-3, R-4, and R-5, plus M-12, AP-36, AP-41, reverted to operational status under state management (SEITT) while two AP-7 segments (the Alicante bypass and Cartagena–Vera) — went bankrupt around 2018-2019. Separately, several other concessions (AP-1, AP-4, and the AP-7/AP-2 sections north of Alicante toward the French border) became free simply because their original concessions expired between 2019 and 2021, not due to insolvency. The remaining tolled network is smaller than a decade ago — down to roughly 1,435 km nationally — but it still includes real per-km charges, including AP-6/AP-51/AP-61 (Madrid–Ávila–Segovia corridor) and the AP-7 Málaga–Estepona–Guadiaro section on the Costa del Sol, both of which have active, published 2026 tariff schedules.</p>

	<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">2026 Update:</strong> Annual toll tariff revisions linked to the Spanish CPI came into effect in January 2026 across all active concessions. Abertis-operated corridors on the AP-7 and AP-2 are Toll-Free. Spain's government has confirmed no new general tolling of autovías for the foreseeable future, reversing an earlier proposal that was politically shelved.</p>		<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">2026 Update:</strong> Annual toll tariff revisions linked to the Spanish CPI came into effect in January 2026 across all active concessions.
