No, as a general rule, overtaking (adelantamiento) in Spain must be done on the left side of the vehicle you intend to pass. There are very specific exceptions to this rule, primarily in urban areas.
In urban areas (dentro de poblado), you may overtake on the right if the road has at least two marked lanes for traffic moving in the same direction, and there is sufficient space to do so safely.
If the vehicle ahead is clearly indicating a left turn and there is sufficient space to pass safely on its right side, you are permitted to overtake it on the right according to Spanish DGT regulations.
When a tram is circulating in the center of a two-way road, you may overtake it on the right side, provided there is enough space and it is safe to do so. This is a specific exception to the general overtaking rule.
'Adelantamiento' refers to a deliberate maneuver to pass a slower moving vehicle that is actively in motion. 'Rebasamiento' describes flowing past other vehicles in congested traffic where your lane moves faster, or passing a stationary vehicle or obstacle, and is not considered a formal overtaking maneuver under Spanish traffic law.
No, overtaking on the right on a motorway (Autovía or Autopista) is strictly forbidden in Spain and is considered a serious infraction due to the high speeds and potential danger involved.
