A few bits off misleading info around:
A firestick bought anywhere will work anywhere where there is an internet connection for it to use.
But certain content on certain apps can be "geo restricted" which is why when using official apps you may need a VPN to bypass these restrictions. eg BBC iPlayer is "georestricted" to UK IP addresses, so you need a VPN to get around this if wanting to use it in other countries.
But certain content, like that made by Amazon or Netflix will be available all around the world with no restrictions. If they made the content, then they own the content, so make it available to all. It is content that is not made by them, but other programme makers, that can be restricted on a country by country basis, hence why you may find that content available on Prime or Netflix in the Uk, is not available on Prime or Netflix in Spain.
Hence it is totally fine to use a firestick Fire TV device in Spain, even with your UK Amazon address, but you will simply be offered the content that they have the rights to for the country you are using.
Unofficial / third party apps, like tvmucho, dont need this, as they do the bypassing for you. Or just pirate it directly.
Amazon have just announced a new range of firesticks etc... so keep an eye out for them
