Hello Longlegpete
Your information on tax in Spain is not quite correct. We have our 210 form done by a legal company out here and the below statement on tax on rentals is from them
Declaration on rental income is only necessary when it significantly exceeds your expenditure.
Properties that are rented for odd weeks of the year and only just cover the annual out goings for the year (water, electric, suma, community etc etc) do not need to be declared. The non resident tax covers the tax payment that is needed
You are incorrect in saying that you only have to declare it in the UK if you are a higher rate tax payer. You will need to do a self assesment form and declare it (there is a section on the form under the Uk property bit which says foreign rental properties) but there is no double taxation so you can offset any tax you have paid in Spain.
