Hi Drewie,
UK "High Street" banks can't help, as you need a bank account with a European IBAN (International Bank Account Number) in order to pay direct debits in Spain. However, there are a number of online banks which non-residents, in particular, are finding a much cheaper option, such as Wise (formerly TransferWise), Revolut, N26 and Monzo. This subject has been extensively discussed, since Brexit saw an increase in Spanish bank fees and charges for UK citizens - use the search fields at the top right of the page to find relevant threads.
Kind regards,
Kim
