I'm moving this topic to Europe immigration.
You will want to read this topic:
-> Europe immigration forum -> Directive 2004/38/EC thread
There is a lot of information that will get you started. We also have a search function (top center of all forum pages, slightly left next to the FAQ link).
You are searching for information on a non-EU spouse living in the EU, and having work (and residency) rights in an EU Member State that is NOT the Member State of the nationality of the EU spouse.
Directive 2004/38/EC is a very good start as to rights you have to not be separated within the EU. It's the working part that will get tricky.
I am unsure as to exactly how to get work rights for your husband in Spain (as the spouse of a non-Spanish EU citizen), but it can be done. Some countries are a bit more difficult than others.
You are likely to need to do the following:
- Get married
- apply for a spouse visa to the UK (?)
- travel to Spain yourself with your husband (seems already 'done')
- figure out how to get your husband work permission (properly documented) in Spain
You may not NEED the spouse visa to the UK, but I suspect it might help the situation. And, it may be a 'requirement' at some point in the process since, without it, you may be faced with much more difficult paperwork.
Hopefully someone else with more direct experience can offer some more hints ...
