    Your problem will be a lack of credit record in Spain, but credit cards are fairly widely used and available in Spain.

    The best thing to do would be to talk to your UK bank about whether they have a relationship with a spanish bank. Barclays for example owns a large banking group in spain and I'm sure they are not the only one. They can probably then help getting you set up with a card in Spain?

    Good luck.
