3To answer the question in the title: yes. You'll need a residence permit.– phoogJan 18, 2018 at 7:06

A residence permit from Spain, or a residence permit from the "EU" organization? Thanks.– LCFoodExpertsJan 19, 2018 at 19:20

2The EU does not issue residence permits; each member state issues them. So you will need a residence permit issued by Spain. You ought to be able to find some relevant information at the Spanish consulate nearest you.– phoogJan 19, 2018 at 23:47

Only Schengen visas and long-term residency are EU regulated, but in both cases the decision lies with the member states.
The only exception is the EU blue card which requires a work contract and relevant degrees.
Spain does have retirement visas but it is possible that they prefer to promote their golden visa schemes instead.
