How have things changed after brexit for me to move to Spain. I hear lots of British are returning to Uk because of new rules.
Personally I don't buy the stories of hoards of Brits de camping Spain because of Brexit, the majority of those who have will most likely have been living under the radar and failed to legitimise themselves whilst they had the opportunity thus effectively being forced to flee before being caught up with by the Spanish tax man.
Paradoxically, for those legally living in Spain before Brexit, it's all been something of a non event which hasn't materially changed their lives.
Now of course to move to Spain you need an annual income of around €34k (per couple) plus all inclusive private health insurance.
Also, or at least as things currently stand, you will have to take a Spanish driving test within the first 6 months.

Brexit has changed things quite a lot for actually moving to Spain permanently.
If you are a UK passport holder you will need some sort of visa before you can move to Spain. Visa are applied for at the Spanish consulate in the UK.
If you want to live and work in Spain you will need a work visa. You will need to apply and secure a job and your prospective employer will need to apply for a work visa on your behalf.
If you want to retire to Spain then you will need to apply for a non lucrative visa. To gain a non-lucrative visa you will need to prove an income of around €28,000 per annum and full healthcare.
You can't just move to Spain and apply for jobs or residency.
