Since Brexit, there are a few additional restrictions and conditions that you'll have to bear in mind when flying to Spain. You still need your passport, but now it needs to have at least six months until its expiry date from the day you enter Spain. You can enter the country without a visa as long as you don't plan on staying for more than 90 days out of any 180-day period; if you plan on staying for longer, you will have to get a visa. This means immigration and customs may be likely to request proof that a) you have enough money to last in Spain without needing to work and b) you have a return or onward ticket.
