It fails to mention the health test though, which is a bit strange.

Under EU law . you are perfectly legal to drive in Spain as a resident on a valid British licence providing it is the ID type. The DVLC do not accept a change of address when you move abroad ie so you can’t have a UK licence with a Spanish address.

using this page you should be able to find your local centres.

When your UK licence expires you must then apply for a Spanish licence.

Or you can voluntarily apply to hand in your UK licence and get a Spanish one at any time prior to its expiration
