my partner & I will be leasing a car in France and travelling through France, Spain, Switzerland, Austria & Germany with it. Being a lease car, it has a very distinctive number plate.

We are intending to travel along the southern side of the Pyrenees entering Spain at the Frontera de la Portalet and exiting Puigcerda. I don't think we will be visiting/passing through any very large towns/cities.

We are primarily interested in visiting the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park & Aigüestortes i Estany of Saint Maurici National Park.

My partner has some safety concerns with respect to someone stopping us and trying to take over the car. How safe is it to drive through this region especially along "back" roads like the H-631 if you don't have a car registered in Spain?

The area we are intending to visit looks very beautiful and we would like to be able to enjoy our time there.

What are people's thoughts? I would like to be able to put my partner's mind at ease (as well as mine).

Cheers.
