The shengen rules only kick in next year . As for freedom of movement and other rule changes only time will tell but I am quite sure that the Spanish government appreciates how much the uk puts into their coffers so will also have to give that due consideration
Spain is just one of 27 countries that make up the bloc. They will not be in a position to offer something to one country and not to the others. British tourism has always been an important part of the Spanish economy but even as we speak, tourism and immigration from other countries is slowly growing and towns that 20 years ago were predominantly occupied by British immigrants are now filling with Scandinavians and citizens from the countries that joined the EU more recently and are now emigrating to Spain too. Britain was a valued member of the bloc but chose to go it alone in a last attempt to bring back the "good old days", which were never that good in the first place! Things change and time stops for no man!
