Spain does not have a quarantine requirement when you import your pet. Make sure you check with the authorities that you have the proper papers, not only for Spain, but also for other countries that you pass on your trip to Spain.
If your present country has a quarantine requirement, you should be aware that when you leave Spain, even after a couple of hours, your home country will put your pet in quarantine at return.
There are many diseases common under Spanish pets that can be a risk to your pet, you may want to consult your vet in Spain if additional shots are required.
All dogs need to be registered and either tattooed in the ear or have a chip inserted under the skin. This is for identification and makes it a lot easier to return your dog to you if it got lost. There is a fine if you fail to register your dog.
Pets need to have a rabies shot before entering Spain, unless your country is exempt, such as Britain. The shot should been given no less than one month and no longer than one year before arrival to Spain.
