They provide a set up guide too, although it's pretty easy on Android.
I would go for a paid service. VPNUK is pretty good. Unlikely the free ones, it has servers in many countries including Spain. You are not tied to a contract and can stop and start. A 2 user account is only £6 a month, and they give good telephone support. It is easy to change to other servers eg if you want the Aussie Netflix, connect to an Aussie server.
I have rarely had any problems. Occasionally a server might be down, but it so easy to switch. See

You can set up a PayPal subscription which is easy to stop and start and does not expose your credit card details to them etc.
It is dead simple to set up on android and they provide super guides.
No limits either on how much you download - can easily run into gigabytes etc.
Another option is to buy an IPTV system eg

OK not the cheapest c. £10 per month plus initial cost of box. I got fed up connecting PCs etc to my TV even using Chromecast etc, and bought one of these. My wife uses it all the time - its just like connecting a free view box. You get a proper remote control etc.
A Rolls Royce solution but really good.
To coninue use it is £14.99 for one year
Many thanks for the suggestion it seems ideal for what I want.
Also if I used a US server would it allow me to watch US Netflix.(Afterthought :-) )
I was also able to view Sky Sports for which I'm subscribed in UK. Without the VPN I wasn't able to view.
Got to vpnuk homepage.
At top you will see a link called client login - login with your uid and password.
On left you will see a link Servers IP and switching. Click on this.
Scroll down to Spanish servers and click on view link to right.
This brings up the server ip and its dns server name which is what you need. You normally only needs dns name, but occasionally (rare) you have to use IP adress instead.
Re telephone - just call uk support, or use Chat facility.
Site has guides on how to to setup pc, android etc.
(settings more vpn)
see guide below.
Server 1
IP - 95.215.63.142
DNS - shared1-es.vpnuk.net
Server 2

shared2-es.vpnuk.net
Server 3
