The point is EU or EEA citizens Freedom of movement allowed travel between member states without the need of a passport just a national ID is necessary; there are no passport controls to speak of
The UK retained passport control sure however to comply with the above accepted ID cards for entry
That has now disappeared and all EU Citizens need a passport to enter the UK as of January and that’s an added burden at the frontier is it not
Those Spanish airports don’t check EU/EEA travelers passports they don’t need too
