The UK has a reciprocal Health agreement with Spain...it was never an EU thing!
The reciprocal health agreement E111 / S1 card is a EU wide agreement and will stop on January 2021 unless a new bilateral agreement is made between the UK & Spain...the UK government has already said it will pay for the health care of OAPs that became Residents in Spain before January 2021 ...after this date all new UK OAPs that want to retire in Spain with need to take out a private health care plan....this is information is all over the net ...At the moment to become a resident of Spain if you are under UK retirement age or a OAP you need a long term long term rental agreement or a Escutura in your name for the property that you own as far as income goes this varies from region to region but you do need proof of income to live in Spain ( this will also end on January 2021 ) unless a bilateral agreement is made between the UK and Spain up to now no agreement has been made...this information is freely available on the UK government's web site.
