I think as long as your licence has a euro flag on it you should be ok.

You have to be 18 to drive a car in Spain.

The minimum driving age in Spain is 18.

Which bit don't you understand??

Even at age 18 you would not be insured unless your brother had any driver aged under 26 named on his insurance
