Yes, you need a medical. It is valid for the same period as the licence which is every 10 years if under 65 and every 5 years over 65.
Consists of a basic eyesight test and a coordination test.

It's nothing to be frightened of if you are in reasonable health, and there's a place in Rojales that does the test.

Are you certain of that
NEW laws forcing expat drivers to undergo a medical examination will come into place later this week.
The EU Directive 2012/126, which starts from January 19, will mean that all British drivers in Spain under the age of 65 will have to take a medical every 10 years.
Drivers over 65 however, will be required to take the test every five years.
The medical examination will be a sight, hearing and co-ordination test in the form of a computer based driving simulation.
Drivers can keep their UK licence, but must notify the DVLA of their Spanish residency and still be able to declare a UK address as their permanent residence.
