You need a Freesat box (NB not Freeview). More official information here: https://www.freesat.co.uk/get-freesat/s ... lsrc=aw.ds
People often sell them second hand locally and much cheaper than new.

If the community has a satellite dish and you have a tv with a built in decoder you just plug the connection into the tv.

Yes I brought mine from the U.K. it was a Humax Freesat from Richersounds and works perfectly but that’s on my own dish not a community one. Also you can record on it.

Yes, you used to be able to get them cheaper in the UK because they are really a UK product and have to be imported to Spain. Obviously it will have a UK plug. Often people will sell a second hand Humax box they don't need any more. Although Humax no longer make them they still work. If you get a new one be aware that 'on demand' facilities are unlikely to work outside the UK (unless you can fix up a VPN etc) and you will only be able to record whilst watching another programme if you have two or more coaxial cables leading from the dish to your property. For most people, being able to record even with one cable would get round the lack of on demand though as you can record a repeat. If you are not a telly addict then a cheaper non-recordable one should be sufficient. If you get one, put in your UK postcode during set up and you will get your desired regional channels on BBC/ITV. Alternatively contact a local English TV satellite supplier and see if they have a box you can buy. Good luck.

If your aerial (I trust you mean dish!) is orientated for UK TV any old Sky box will do the job.
If not Spanish Freeview TV includes the primary UK channels, BBC1, 2,ITV, CH4, plus some other English speaking channels more than enough for pesky holiday makers!
Can you not protect a Firestick, never used one so don't know??
