Presumably you have already been assigned a doctor by the Spanish Health authorities. You need to attend your health centre and explain to staff there. You will need to complete a form but bear in mind if your health centre has a high workload of patients you may not get the change of doctor you want.

Go along to your nearest Health Centre and take along with you your SIP card and Padron. Staff there should be able to allocate you with a doctor.
