"The Consequences Of Brexit For Spain", Eurasia Review, 08 | 01 | 2021 - Reportaje (William Chislett, Senior Research Fellow, Elcano Royal Institute)
...300,000 Britons are officially registered as living in the country (76,000 in 1998) at the latest count, the largest group of British ex-pats in Europe and the third largest number of foreign residents in Spain after Moroccans and Rumanians... The real number of Britons in Spain including those who are not registered and those that have property and spend part of the year in the country is put much higher, at 800,000. ... Spain is looking more kindly on its British community than the UK on its Spanish one. Britons already living and working in Spain ... do not need to prove their status. ... UK citizens in Spain with either a residency card or the equivalent green certificate (issued before the end of 2020) do not have to do anything as these documents remain valid, though they can exchange whichever one they have for the post-Brexit third country ID (known as TIE). ... Precise details of new reciprocal health arrangements are yet to be announced.

"How the Brexit deal has changed daily lives of British residents in Europe", The local, 07 | 01 | 2021 - Reportaje (Imogen Goodman)
In the run-up to Britain’s exit from the single market, UK citizens have had to register with immigration offices or apply for new residency permits. People have had to exchange UK driving licences whilst many have through their own choice applied for citizenship of an EU country. Less than a week after the end of the transition period, however, it’s becoming clear that Brexit is more than just an headache and hurdle for residency. Whether it’s sending a belated Christmas gift to relatives in Britain or picking up snacks from the supermarket, Brexit is already affecting daily lives of Britons in several small but significant ways.
