You will not get UK Freeview in Spain. Freeview is UK TV via a TV aerial, transmitted by TV masts in the UK, and those signals barely cover the UK, let alone reach Spain. A TV aerial in Spain will only receive Spanish channels.

Freesat is UK TV via a satellite dish, and is available in Spain with the right sized dish. And carries most of the Freeview channels, and more.

But both offer subscription free (ie without monthly fee) UK TV.

But be careful if you want Freesat , as some offer basic "free to air" receivers, that although have the same channels are Freesat, are not Freesat receivers, do not have the Freesat channel list, or the Freesat 7 day programme guide, or automatic channel updates, or red button or BBC text services. If you want a Freesat receiver, make sure it has a Freesat logo on the box..
