No, Spain does not have digital radio so you'd be wasting your money.

There are certain areas that have DAB like Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia. However, like the rest of Europe, they use DAB2 (or DAB+ as sometimes called) unlike UK which uses DAB1 (or just DAB). So only a European DAB radio will work in those areas that have it and not a UK one.
However, after extensive trials starting back in 1998, it was decided not all the country could have it because of the vast amount of mountainous terrains and the idea of switching to DAB only was scrapped back in 2005.
I think about 20% of the country is covered by DAB but that does not include this area. The DAB radio in my car is pretty defunct here. Anyway, none of the English channels around here use it.
Outside those three areas above, the other regions switched off their broadcasts.

I get all the digital radio stations through my satellite TV, especially rock stations.

I brought one over to discover that it doesn't work. I'd happily sell it to you providing the price offered was acceptable!!:text-lol::text-lol::text-lol:

You might have a look at a WIFI radio, 8000 stations, including all uk ones and 10 preset buttons.

Another options are Spotify, Apple Music and such. For a low monthly cost you will have access to all kinds of music. Lists you make yourself, radio or other playlists based on genre. Get a cheap phone for only streaming and connect to a speaker or home entertainment system. You can control it with any phone on the same wifi network.
