Just to add my two cents worth....it seems odd how high and mighty Spain gets about having to import a car onto Spanish plates within an ever decreasing time scale but don't give a damn that it is illegally charging an import tax to do so. Brussels fines Spain every year for charging the tax but of course Spain carry on regardless as they get far more money in taxes than they ever have to pay in fines!!

If the import process was simpler and cheaper (as in the uk, France Germany etc where it is just an admin fee) then I don't think many people would object to importing their cars onto Spanish plates
