Scroll down to the bottom of the page and the last but one item on RHS is Jim's guides. Driving licences are included.

The issue is that there is no independent bilateral agreement between UK and Spain for the exchange of licences which means if it did all turn totally pear shaped (and who knows what's going to happen with that self serving idiot BoJo at the helm) you could be forced to take a Spanish test.

On that basis it's a total no brainer to exchange your licence ASAP and be it on your own head if you don't.

Do NOT confuse the current EU rules on licence exchanges with what may or may not happen if idiot BoJo gets his way on Oct 31st.

Exchanging your licence is a very simple business. We find the best Trafico to go to is in Elche. Less crowded than Alicante, less noisy and staff are really helpful!  If you pop in you can make an appointment for a few days time, as booking online shows a massive delay in appointments.
