Road freight between Lithuania and Spain

Road route from Lithuania to Spain

The road route from Klaipėda to Madrid is about 3,470 km. The truck drives through Poland, Germany, Belgium and France, then enters Spain at Irun in the Basque Country. The route to Barcelona crosses eastern France and enters Spain on the AP-7 at La Jonquera. Neither route needs a ferry.

With two drivers, the drive to Madrid takes about 85 hours under the EU rules on driving and rest. One driver cannot drive this distance inside six days, so the trip also needs a weekly rest. RNJ Transport gives you the planned delivery date with the price.

Mainland Spain is one hour behind Lithuania. Both countries change to summer time on the same days, so the difference stays the same all year.

Road tolls for trucks in Spain

Spain charges tolls only on some motorway sections, the autopistas de peaje (AP). The toll depends on the vehicle type and the distance, and on some roads also on the time of day. Drivers pay by card, in cash or with a VIA-T electronic tag. Spain uses no vignette for its roads.

Since 1 September 2021, the AP-7 from Tarragona to La Jonquera and the AP-2 from Zaragoza to El Vendrell have no tolls. With this change, the state roads in Catalonia have no tolls. The price we give you includes the tolls on the route, and you get one invoice from RNJ Transport.

Truck driving bans and winter rules in Spain

Spain has no general weekend ban for trucks. Each year, the traffic authority DGT lists road sections, days and hours when trucks over 7.5 t may not drive. The 2026 list includes holiday weekends and summer Sundays on some roads, and sections of the A-1 near Madrid. Catalonia, the Basque Country and Navarre set their own restrictions.

Some transports are exempt from the DGT bans. Examples are live animals, and perishable goods in ATP vehicles. The perishable goods must fill at least half of the load capacity or volume. Ask us how a ban affects your delivery date.

In snow, ice, fog or strong wind, trucks over 3.5 t must use the right lane and may not overtake. In bad weather, the DGT can also restrict some types of vehicles on a road.

Documents for loads between Lithuania and Spain

Both countries are in the EU customs territory, so EU goods travel between them without an export declaration and without customs formalities. Every load travels with a CMR consignment note. Add the invoice and a packing list, so the receiver can check the goods at delivery.

If the route crosses a country outside the EU, the load travels with a transit document. Goods from outside the EU that are not yet cleared also need a transit document. Tell us before loading.
