Answer 1

You need an international driving license or an EU driving license.

Answer 2

Take your licence from your own country and ensure you have photgraphic id, If you have a photo card licence this should do, otherwise you would be required to carry a residence card or passport, if you are stopped and do not have the correct documentation then you will be fined. Also if you are hiring a car ensure you have yellow vests warning triangle tools for spare wheel insurance docs(rental agreements)  etc in glove box and a bulb kit these are all items that you are to carry in the car at any time if the GUardia stop you and check the items finding they are missing they can fine you etc.

Answer 3

Your license from your home country is fine to use in Spain for up to one year.  See the website below.  most countries just laugh at the "internaional" license...don't bother.
