As an insurance broker we insure the vehicle but we do not process the transfer. However, we do have many contacts throughout Spain who can help you.
You can insure your foreign plated car for up to six months for non-EU and UK cars or 3 months for EU registered cars.
You usually need to provide the following documents:
