Your UK licence remains valid as you passed your test in the UK. If you go back to the UK you just swap it back. You can drive on your spanish licence in the UK but if you go back permanently you would need to exchange it for a UK one.
You may however need to look into doing a medical for the UK licence depending on your age.
Best place to find this information would be on the gov.uk website.
