The answer is sadly no.  https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/blue-badge-using-it-in-the-eu/using-a-blue-badge-in-the-european-union

There is a chance this will change in the future but since brexit UK blue badges are nit officially recognised in Spain.

I have been advised by the guadia servile that the UK blue badge is not recognised now after brexit. I still use mine with a note saying Spanish version applied for. Hope that helps
