Hey Hunpak
No you dont need a visa to go to Spain with your residence card. This is the proof of the info from the Spanish embassy in Manchester quoted:
Family members of an EU/EEA national that hold a valid UK residence permit are no longer required a visa to enter Spain .This must be documented on the residence permit as :"Residence card of a Family Member of an EEA National".This endorsement is compulsory for the visa to be exempted.In addition to this, you also must hold a valid passport and be traveling with the EU national or joining him/her in Spain.Otherwise, a visa will still be required.( Real Decreto 1161/2009, 10th July 2009).
For spouses and/or children of Spanish Nationals the above condition applies, providing that the marriage and/or birth is registered according with the Spanish CIvil Register ( original LIbro de Familia).
Advisory information to all foreign nationals intending to enter Spain.
Please, for information regarding requirements of entry into Spain for stays no exceeding ninety days in any six months period; visit the website of Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation
