I don't live in Spain but will be staying in Los Gallardos several times a year.  Would it be cheaper to buy a secondhand car or to rent one please

if you don't live here you have to factor in the need to pass an ITV test for a used car every two years so you would need to be here or have someone to do it for you.  also the need to insure it and service it of course.  If you come to Spain a lot are you going to leave it at airport parking for your use when you arrive more cost.  Weighed up against the rental costs it is probably easier to rent when necessary and use annual insurance cover if you come more than once a year.
