The only way to be tax exempt in Spain is to spend less than 183 days/year there as a single guy. If you are married and/or have children in Spain then you are considered to have your main financial interests in Spain no matter how few days you yourself spend there, i.e the tax man wants his share and with a decent salary that will be 40ish percents.
As mentioned, there are nowadays very few places in Europe where you can (legally) avoid paying taxes. It’s all fun and games until it’s not.
