Not sure about big because I haven't seen any figures on the weekly reach of FM and AM.
Radio Nacional de Espana has five networks, two of these RNE1 and RNE5 are carried on AM to cover gaps in the FM coverage.
There are 89 AM stations from the commercial networks listed in the current WRTH all of whom have FM outlets.
The WRTH says at the start of its listings of commercial stations
"Only stations with MW broadcasts and FM networks are listed. A number of other stations are heard irregularly. There are approximately 2400 FM stations."
Not all FM stations I believe are properly licenced. The number of commercial AM stations in Spain is slowly decreasing, once the transmitters become difficult to maintain they are closing them.
