If you were asking if you can stay for 90 days in your holiday home here in Spain then book another holiday elsewhere in Europe through a travel agent, then it's a no, I'm afraid. It may be worth researching long stay visas though and there are a few interesting points on this site https://www.nomadicmatt.com/travel-blogs/how-to-legally-stay-in-europe-for-more-than-90-days/

Regarding this 90 days in six months, I was initially going to spend 3 months in Spain, then 3 months in UK, then 3 months in Spain, etc, but my home contents insurance gets very expensive if I am away for more than 61 days, so, can I spend 2 months in each country 3 times a year rather than 3 months two times a year?

Good Topic !  Cheryl, that is a brilliant article. I have not yet read it in its entirety as it's quite a long one but looking forward to studying it in depth soon. Thanks  👍

...nths two times a year?

It's 90 days per year I'm afraid. After 6 months in Spain in total in a year you automatically become a tax resident and need to pay taxes here. 

Also look into Modelo 720.

That's wrong Steve. 

It's 90 days total in any 180 day period for a stay.

To become tax resident then you need to be here for 183 days in a calendar year.

Modelo 720 only applies to residents.
