Moved your post to the Flying in the Spain thread, since there is much info/reading above and any further posts only improve the pool of information.
You need a Drone European License. After Brexit I don’t know if British License is valid in Europe or not, sorry for that. I’m Spanish so the most important contribution that I can offer is the Official Map of the Official Spanish Aeronautical Manager named ENAIRE that you can access through it website. Here you can plan if a place is valid or not to fly your drone. Or even by location, being live in a place, find out if it is legal or not, even by flight height. Here is the link:
If there are no colors, it means you can fly. If there are, it is a bad sign. You can put your finger in that colour and get the reason why is not allowed to fly drones there. In general, you can never fly a drone after the recent new legislative change within a city without asking permission from the government authorities including drones under 250 weight grams.
Finally, it should be noted that Spain has one of the most restrictive laws in Europe regarding drone flights, so it is important to take a look at this map before deciding to fly.
Use https://drones.enaire.es/ to see where you can fly. Use Google translate on a computer to translate restrictions to English.
You must have liability insurance that covers Europe.
You must display your EASA operator ID number on the drone.
You should have the drone class displayed on the drone, unless purchased before 1st January 23
Avoid urban areas, privacy laws exist in Spain and be careful not to overtly restricted areas. I believe that you can’t overly roads for example and government infrastructure such as pylons or cables.
Stay at least 5 miles from an airport.
Europe has far stricter rules than the UK.
The biggest issue is the lack of definitive rules in Europe. They exist, vary between each country on top of EASA rules, yet websites mostly contain old and outdated information which simply gets copied to other sites.
For example a fireproof label is often mentioned containing your details, but I believe this is no longer required. Although Iceland does need your contact details on the drone.
Information isn’t guaranteed to be accurate on here either
However as long as you are not an idiot, you ought to be fine. Pick rural areas and forget about flying in towns and cities.
