There are companies offering various insurance cover, obviously age related and at a price. Some previous posts give advice on this. 

If Spain or specific areas of it were to go into lockdown as a UK resident you can and have always been able to return to repatriate to the UK. Your travel options may be limited however return in some way is always available....

Your EHIC will (until any changes resulting from brexit) always cover you for emergency treatment. If you were unfortunate to contract covid that would be a doctors/medical professional decision whether your covid symptoms were considered an emergency or not.

Good luck !
