Parking in the Canary Islands is a problem to the extent that if you find a good parking space you feel like you’ve hit the jackpot, yet many people still can’t do it properly when they do find a space, as others like to point out by posting photos on social media of cars parked incorrectly, badly, or taking up two spaces.

However, although these images are a source of amusement, the real problem is the frustration of not being able to find a parking space and then a fine if it’s done incorrectly as you were in a hurry, only stopping for two minutes, or didn’t want to pay for a car park.

Here are the typical fines for parking incorrectly issued by the DGT:

- Parking in spaces with time limits for longer than the specified duration  (art. 93): 80 euros.

- Parking in spaces parallel to a kerb, but being too far away from the kerb or leaving it at an angle (art. 92): 80 euros.

- Leaving the car double parked without a driver: 200 euros.

- Parking in areas designated for buses or taxis (art. 94): 200 euros.

- Parking in a cycling lane or part of the road reserved exclusively for the use of pedestrians (art. 94): 200 euros.

- Not obeying no parking signs (art. 154): 200 euros.

- Parking the vehicle in a reserved loading and unloading area (art. 91): 200 euros.

- Parking in a space reserved for the disabled (art. 91): 200 euros.

- The fine for parking on the pavement (art. 94): up to 200 euros, but can vary depending on the municipal ordinance in some areas.

Maybe a couple of euros in an underground car park isn’t so bad after all!
