Mirrors in spain

Hi all,
I am going to be riding around the cataluna area, as much offroad as possable, i have 1 doubletake folding mirror. on road fold out / offroad fold down, as you do,
My question is does the law in spain say i need 1 or 2 mirrors, just if its 2 i will need to fit my standard mirrors that dont fold, and i am more than happy to just have 1 mirror, but not at the cost of upsetting the policia .

Thanks in advance,
Jeff.

we were pulled by the police in 2007 in Spain.

the Police were going to fine us for not having 2 mirrors.. no GB sticker on the bike. and a dirty number plate { no use having a GB sticker on the panniers than taking them off and leaving them at the camp site }
one American in our group had his loaned bike towed to the police station because he only had a US licence .

you also have to carry your licence ,insurance and V5 with you .

The police are on the ball in Spain, as they even cleaned our tax disc to check they were in Date !!!

Yes just had euro plate made up, and i think it will have to be 2 mirrors, no point in provoking them.
