6 months worth of bank statements.
Marriage Certificate (again this was handed back also).
Evidence of financial means (make sure you check the correct monthly requirements or the lump sum required). We only had the amount of β¬40,000 in our Spanish Bank account as no monthly income commencing until July 2021 being my husband's standard pension and our rental from our UK property.
All the above need to be officially stamped with the Hague Apostille and translated into Spanish.
Good luck everyone your dreams will come true π€.
