Correct answer
No.
As a general rule, accident-damaged or broken-down vehicles are towed by vehicles specifically intended for roadside assistance and registered in the State Register of Roadside Assistance (REAV). Article 8.4 of Royal Decree 159/2021 provides an exception when the vehicle’s mass or dimensions require another type of vehicle. There is no general exception allowing a private car to tow another along an urban road to the nearest place.
