You can only keep it in Spain for a maximum of six months in any twelve months.

If you move to Spain to live here, you must re-register it onto Spanish plates within two months of acquiring a padron or residencia if you want to avoid being charged import tax.

There's plenty of information on the forum, so do a search.

You can insure a British registered car with a Spanish insurance company. Our Spanish insurance provider recognised our UK no-claims discounts on two cars (that will be re-registered in Spain shortly).
