Hi, I have just seen your question. I am surprised that no one has attempted to answer it.

You can absolutely order a fire stick from Amazon.es

Not sure if you know this bit, but to watch most uk content from outside the UK, you will need to connect via a 'VPN'.

So, there are two things to do here:

  1. Subscribe to a VPN provider
  2. Set up the FireStick to connect via the VPN

Once done, then you will be able to watch UK based streaming.
The problem arises when companies like the BBC and Netflix work out that you are using a VPN and simply block you. 
I know that some VPN providers have many 'fall' back connections so if one gets exposed, then another can be used.
There is a place next to Mojacar Estates that will be able to set you up with UK TV, so might be worth talking to them. I can not remember their name, but they advise a lot.
Hope this gives you a bit of an insight and what you need to get done/need to do.
One more thing, I myself, set up a VPN here in the uk and this has the advantage of not being seen as a VPN and thus works a treat. Its not a simple thing to do.If you need any more advise then please let me know.

Nick.

Thank you for the information, we have now purchased an amazon firestick and had it programmed by Jason who is based in Vera playa.  He was very helpful and also set up our tv for us.

Do you need a Spanish amazon fire stick or can you bring one from the uk?

Hi, No, you can bring a firestick from home. When you login to the firestick, it's at that point in time that your Amazon account will dictate which language your fire stick will display in.

So, if you set up a uk Amazon account or have a UK account already and sign in with that,  then you will see every thing in English, regardless to where you are in the world.

I cant help with the programming part though.

Nick.

Just got internet yesterday, got my uk firestick out the case, set it up and it's working perfectly, with all my "recents" as when I left England last week.

I also found out that there's a shop in Arboleas called total entertainment where the guy performs some magic with your fire stick and hey presto, BSkyB and all the other good stuff that cost a fortune in Rip Off Brittain.

Hope this helps. Cheers. Lee

I think you need to turn your predictive text off. As far as my geography permits, I'm pretty sure that Mojave is a bloody huge dessert near Las Vegas. 😁

If you meant Mojacar, I cant help with anything local to you, but, as Arboleas is only about 35-40 minutes away up the A7, might be worth jumping in your car.

Best wishes. Lee
