It's impossible to know what it will cost-it depends on where you live, what sort of property-flat, villa , static caravan, hostel , host family etc. and whether it includes bills. Will you be driving in Spain or using local transport Will you be spending time in different parts of Spain?Just make sure you have plenty of money -at least 500-1000 euros a month, I would guesstimate, what with rent,food, social life. I take it you're not planning to work,as finding work in Spain will be well nigh impossible.
YOU will need good health cover.? medical insurance. Travel insurance doesn't usually last a year.The EHIC card for emergency treatment only covers you for 3 months and doesn't cover you for medical transport back to the UK if you were unfortunate enough to need it.To transport someone back to UK with medical escort can cost £10,000 euros. Better you know this now than when it's too late!
Don't want to squash your enthusiasm for an adventure, but you will need to research lots of boring stuff! the info on EOS is more for people moving here, and you won't need that sort of info, tax, property etc. Isn't there a group set up for students where you could find out stuff applicable to you? eg The rough guide to Spain. Google "gap year in Spain" There is loads of info out there -it's just about sifting it all and using what is suitable for you.Good luck!
