Return to Spain

Hi All,

I understand that the Spanish government has stated that once you have made a residentia application you can stay in Spain as long as you like. All good, however, I am waiting for my Residentia to be issued but want to go back to the U.K. and return a week later. I have a copy of my Residentia plus all supporting documents. My concerns are,

1. As I have overstayed my 90 days will I be able to return and will I be penalised for the overstay even though I am waiting for my Residentia

2. Will my application for a residentia get me through customs control entering back into Spain.

3. will my passport be stamped leaving and returning.

4. Does the 90 day rule apply if I can prove that my Residentia is being processed.
