When you say earn, do you mean you work for a company that employs you in Spain but pays you in the UK?
Spain treats anyone who has been here normally for more than 183 days as a fiscal tax resident. Residency and tax residency are slightly different therefore. I realise there are residency rules in the UK, but at the end of the day you dont live there, you live in Spain. You will never pay tax twice by the way because of the reciprocal arrangement
