As no agreement has been reached; tomorrow, May 1; anyone who has lived in Spain for more than 6 months & is still using a UK
issued license, it will be illegal for you to drive here.

The offical UKG blurb from their Website:
If you have a valid UK driving licenceFrom 1 May 2022:
The British and Spanish governments continue to negotiate on long-term arrangements for exchanging driving licences without needing to take a practical test. If it is imperative that you drive, you should not wait for the outcome of the negotiations to take action. You must follow the Spanish Traffic Authority (DGT) process for non-EU nationals to obtain a Spanish driving licence. This includes taking both a theory and practical driving test.
