Opening new/keeping accounts when living abroad

Hi,
I used to live in the UK for many years until I decided to move to Spain a couple of years ago. I have kept a few UK accounts (easy savings, notice accounts and stocks) but most of them are no longer very interesting for my savings. Besides, I still earn my salary in GBP and most of my money is in the UK.
I am struggling to find accounts (easy savings, notice accounts, fixed terms,...) that can be opened when you are no longer a UK resident (and UK tax resident). I also think that some accounts are supposed to be closed when you move abroad which makes everything even more difficult.
Thank you!

Not the most competitive interest rate but HSBC UK will let you apply for accounts from Spain

You could also consider an offshore savings account
