Look up all of my posts on the subject of buying property in Spain. See the contributions of others too. Then you'll be somewhere near a level playing field and make what you want, to work.

Thank you. I’m starting to pick through the agents advertising properties they don’t have just to hook punters and show them other properties. We have bought abroad twice before. One shocking experience with an agent similar to what you describe, the other amazing, with great customer support and after sales advice. Hopefully some of the suggestions on this post and a bit more research will serve us well.
