Many British people live, spend seasons or travel to Spain on holiday and meet up with legal issues, assuming that everything is probably the same as at home, particularly if they are holidaying.
This can and does of course lead to misunderstandings, particularly if there is a language barrier, because there can be few experiences that are more upsetting than having a legal issue with little or no understanding of the situation and no clear way of finding any help.
In view of the above, without a full understanding of what is happening it is quite possible that crucial irreversible deadlines may be missed that you are entirely unaware of.
The Spanish Legal system is quite different from the Legal system of England and Wales, as well as in general from the Common Law systems, so that it would not be an unreasonable precaution to find out something about the laws in the country you are living in or visiting, even if you have visited many times before.
Should you have a legal issue in Spain or you intend to avoid it, it is highly recommended that you obtain the services of an English speaking Lawyer. This can make the difference between your success or failure.
