You would need to check your individual policy . . Most insurance in Spain covers the specified vehicle, not the person (hence why most policies allow any driver for the vehicle) so probably not . .

No you can not drive another car on your Spanish insurance, but you may be able to be included on your dads insurance policy

There should only be a small amount if he does add you, not much point in him having a car is there .

No reason why not a Spanish licence is legal all over the EU and the UK is still bound by EU rules

I agree with Jpeg. I used to work for a car insurance company in the UK and all EU licences were accepted.

Search for temporary car insurance.
there are many sites that offer short term insurance and it's not as expensive as you might think.
Hope this helps

You could get added to your dads insurance for a week or two at minimal cost - depending on license endorsements
