Member State detail
Spain
Spain has concrete national legal instruments, a registration workflow, platform reporting cadence, and payload fields. Public OpenAPI documentation is not currently available.
What this means
Spain already has a national model for short-term rental registration and digital data exchange.
Units need a registration number before they can be offered through online short-term rental platforms under the Spanish model.
Implementation status
Royal Decree 1312/2024 creates the Registro Unico de Arrendamientos and the Ventanilla Unica Digital de Arrendamientos.
Order VAU/653/2025 defines platform data-transmission deadlines and model. Order VAU/1560/2025 defines an annual host-side information model and XBRL taxonomy.
Monthly reporting is expected for regular platforms, with small-platform alternatives described in the Spanish model.
Technical interface
The reviewed legal material describes machine-to-machine transmission for regular platforms.
Payload fields include registration number, unit address, municipality, country, guest count, guest countries of residence, rental period, listing URL, platform identity, and send timestamp.
No public Spain-specific SDEP source code, OpenAPI schema, sandbox, or developer portal is currently available.
