2) MEP and CPL in Spain
3) FAA IR in the USA
4) Convert FAA IR to JAA ME-IR in Europe
If you first plan to go to the US and do an IR - why not do the UK CPL and MEP there as well?? This way you don't have to worry about Spain - you keep it all UK CAA/JAA and I'm pretty sure you can even save a few bucks flying in the US vs. Spain. Particularly with the favourable exchange rate these days.
There are quite a few FAA/JAA schools in the US that can provide both for you. There is no need to obtain FAA certificates - you can do JAA CPL/ME from scratch.
Just my two cents...
