Are you UK citizens and receiving UK Pension? 

If so you can get free healthcare paid for by the UK.

Or are you of other nationalities?

Are you permanently resident in Spain and been so for at least 12 months? Is yes, you can apply to join the Convenio Especial which gives you full access to the Spanish National Health Service. It covers pre-existing conditions you only pay for prescriptions.
