No medical cover, no visa. Spain has the upper hand and asks that you comply with all the rules.
I might add medical cover can sometimes be tricky, in particular with private insurance of the elderly or those people with 'pre-existing conditions' which most insurers will not cover. (Note often thinks like cancer not included) 'EHIC cover ceases once a resident' and pensioners since Brexit cannot get what was called an S1, where the NHS gave cover. One good thing is private GP's cheap compared to the UK. about 60 Euro an appointment, many drugs expensive compared to the UK & the pharmacies have a monopoly as supermarkets cannot sell basic drugs like aspirin.
