Not for me, but does anyone know the legal requirements for a British licence holder riding a scooter/moped in Spain?

See this.

(1) Directive 91/439/EEC provides that all driving licences issued by Member States, should be mutually recognised, including those issued before the date of application of the principle of mutual recognition.

(2) The principle of mutual recognition of driving licences entails full recognition of all entitlements which have been granted to a licence holder in accordance with national provisions in force at the time.

I'd say if you have a valid license in the U.K., it's good everywhere else in the EU.

Just stay on the RIGHT side of the road. ;)
