Can I get a receipt after paying a fine in Spain?

There are two ways to get a receipt,

• Online: you can request it at the end of the payment operation, introducing your e-mail in the given field. As the payment is done via credit or debit card, you can also ask your bank for the operation details. 
• Transfer: if you pay by transfer you will have to quote the reference number (top-right corner), and your bank will issue a receipt. [Subject to surcharge]

According to the Spanish law if you pay by card the procedure against you MUST be closed within 72 hours, so my advice is to call their information number 72 hours after the payment to confirm that the procedure is closed. If that is the case you can forget about the fine.

Madrid, European capital of football

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid made it to the second all-Madrid Champions League final in three years. Madrid could well be considered the European capital of football - along with Leicester.

Both Atletico and Real have an English site, so it's pretty easy to book tickets to the match of your choice or to the Bernabéu Tour (one of the Top 3 attractions in Madrid with more than a million visitors a year!).

There is much more to Madrid than football, of course... Some of the best restaurants in Spain, to start with, and my favourite museum in the world.

Oh, and one more thing (I am trying not to lose focus)... Madrid is a trap for drivers. Don't even try, Madrid Metro is convenient and reliable.
