Sorry, something playing up with my browser.
Talk of "old Foreign National Identity (NIE) document" is unhelpful and confusing!

Another member, TheRower, has also posted a very helpful, comprehensive summary of all the issues, as reported in 'Murcia Today':

After reading it it sounds like the problems are from the airlines and the police being their usual a***ehole selves and not wanting the british through. For me the biggest problem is that the airlines now (Im assuming) wont refund the money because they not only flew the people here but also had to fly them back to the UK. 

Hi all,

Gov.uk have updated their website to confirm that UK citizens who are in possession of their TIE approval, even if they don't have the card yet, can return to Spain - relevant extract plus link to Entry Requirements section:

"Additional requirements for UK nationals resident in Spain

"If you are resident in Spain, you should also carry the appropriate proof of residency documents as well as a valid passport when you travel. Spanish authorities have clarified that either the A4-size or credit card sized green EU registration certificates, the “Certificado de Registro de Ciudadano de la Unión Europea”, or the new TIE card, the “Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero” are valid proof of residency for UK nationals who wish to return to their homes in Spain.

"Spanish Authorities have confirmed that, as a temporary measure, those UK nationals who can prove that they have started their residency process in Spain, but who do not yet have their TIE card, should be allowed to board flights and return to Spain if they show a valid “resguardo de solicitud o renovación de tarjeta de extranjero” document. This temporary measure is in place from 4 January 2021 until 10 January 2021 inclusive."
