DGT has posted advice that they have extended the deadline for UK licence holders to exchange their licences to Spanish licences to 31/1/2020.

DGT advise if you are resident in Spain you MUST exchange your Licence for a Spanish Licence, if you have not already done so.  The article is in Spanish and available here ; https://www.ideal.es/sociedad/dgt-avisa-conductores-cambiar-carnet-conducir-espana-20191104115522-nt.html

If / when Brexit occurs, DGT state that a UK Licence will no longer be valid for driving in Spain (of course unless accompanied by an IDP issued in UK, but that’s only valid if you are not resident in Spain)
