EU citizens can reside part-time in Spain without applying for residencia which is only for full-time permanent residents.

... but, after 3 months I would recommend you sign on the list of foreigners (get residency)

If you hit the magic 183 days in Spain in a calendar year (in total), the you are automatically considered tax resident here.

Your criminal record should not be an issue as I don't think they make any checks for residency.
