Default License for driving a scooter in Spain?

My Husband and I are moving to Spain soon. I am currently just starting to learn to drive in the UK and won't have finished learning by the time I move. Therefore, only my Husband will be able to drive the car there until I can sort out lessons there or something.
Can i drive a moped in Spain? I only have a provisional license which i know doesnt exist in Spain so do i need to have a full driving license or not to drive one?
Also, can anyone recommend driving lessons and tests in Spain?

Really think you would be better to finish learning in UK, you cannot drive a scooter on a British provisional licence or anything else.You will need to know the language to learn to drive in Spain as they do a lot of theory.

You can drive a moped/scooter up to 125cc in Spain on a car license but you must have held the license for 3 years.

There is a Special licence for vehicles under 50cc for folk whitou a normal driving licence. It is easy to get it is just teoretical with no practical tests.
Just go to a driving scool, pay the fee (about €200) and yo get a book (only in spanish) learn waht in it and take the test. It then take 4-6 weeks to get the licence.
