The basics on driving are here

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47459859

what is unknown at the moment is the situation with Covid

for the car AFAIK you will need

2 emergency triangles

a Hi Vis vest/coat for each person

If you need glasses for driving you will need a spare pair in the car

spare bulbs

first aid kit

'beam benders' for the headlights although black insulation tape will do and is cheaper

Depending on what car you have, check the handbook for a tourist switch, which will automatically change the dipped beam on your lights to comply with Euro standards. If you cannot find the info in your handbook just google "tourist switch" and the make of your car, it might save you a fortune if you are going for Spanish plates. good luck

To add to this, don’t forget “GB” sticker for car as this is now mandatory.
