Portuguese fill up their cars at a service station in the Spanish city of Badajoz

Correio da Manhã5 September 2026 at 10:48

Many Portuguese travel to the service station in Badajoz, Spain, to fill up their cars with diesel. The proximity of the border makes the trip convenient and frequent for Portuguese consumers.

Consumers acknowledge that the diesel available in Portugal is of superior quality to the fuel sold in Spain. Despite this, the price difference makes it more advantageous to fill up on the other side of the border.

The price factor is the main incentive for Portuguese people to make this journey to Badajoz. The short distance and the ease of access to the service station make this recurring practice easier.
