Hi Cherry,
To be Resident here in Spain,You must present yourself at an appropriate Local Spanish National Police station (or Office) and apply for "Residencia". This will (Of Course) involve filling in forms & providing proofs etc..... and maybe (If you are unlucky) Queuing for many hours with lots of Eastern Europeans (Who have previously well organised any early morning queuing system!)just to get the chance of speaking to someone in the relevant office! Good luck !   :(
