Hi Maie
You have to go to a designated Police Station.
This is the current UK government advice:
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/advice-for-british-nationals-travelling-and-living-in-europe
This is what the UK government says about living in Spain:
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/living-in-spain
This is what the UK government says about applying for residence:
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/residency-requirements-in-spain
Make an online appointment to attend a designated Police Station here:

Your nearest designated Police Station is in Estepona:
https://www.policia.es/documentacion/oficinas/andalucia.html
This is what the Spanish Government advises about the procedure:
After you have been registered as a resident for 5 years, you can apply for a certificate of permanent residence in Spain. You will be issued with a similar credit card size Residence Certificate, but it will additionally state that you are a permanent resident (residente permanente).
I hope these links answer all your questions.
Best regards
Philip
We used a lawyer who charged €200 for the both of us. Well worth it if you aren’t proficient speaking Spanish.

Did you find an answer please? I am in the same situation trying to find details of how to apply for residency from U.K. post brexit now of course about to purchase my second home which will become my permanent home ? Thanks
Dear residents I’m a U.K. citizen looking to stay longer than 180 days so require residency. It is outside the withdrawal agreement options so wondering if someone can direct me to details of what I need to do please? Many thanks
