For the main large amount transfers we used Currencies Direct to transfer the money from our UK bank account to Currencies Direct in the UK, the money then arrived in our lawyer's account the next day. They have an office on Mojacar Playa and their website is at https://www.currenciesdirect.com/en.
For day-to-living expenses my UK banking is now with Transferwise for everything (I was pleased to get rid of the RBS account) and it takes just a few hours to transfer funds to our Sabadell account. They have a good app their website is at https://transferwise.com/
Both are good. Just don't use your uk bank account (unless it's Transferwise) to transfer direct to an account in Spain, it will cost you more, the rate will be worse and usually take longer.
