Don't know about now or the legalities, but in the late 60's within
city/town limits of some of the places I visited in Spain while in the
service nobody drove at night with headlights, only parking lights. The
cities/towns were well lighted though. Narrow streets with blind
intersections required flashing of the headlights also. Some intersections
had convex mirrors on the corner of the buildings.
