Cycling in Spain - protective helmets?

I have already asked a few individuals and not received a reliable or convincing reply. Basically, it was 'YES, NO & DOH!'. Talk about being left in limbo!!

Please reply if you really do know! Otherwise, shhhhh & go back to sleep.

I occassionally find myself amazed at the answers I get to some simple questions, where a YES, NO or the correct solution, would suffice.

With no replies or any kind of feedback I basically researched the entire www for the information I needed.

In SPAIN, you need not wear a cycle helmet if:

(a) you are going up-hill.

(b) it is hot.

So there you are. Question answered. I should have done it myself but always hoped someone would have been clued up enough to reply.

Hi pop rivet under 16 it is a legal requirement to wear a helmet 

Thanks for that.

The age regulation was never mentioned in what I discovered.
