You need to check with the Spanish authorities whether dual nationality is accepted under Spanish law - I do see quite a few Spanish citizens applying for BC. Perhaps they could confirm.
The UK has no rules on dual or multi citizenship, you can have as many as you wish.

A quick google search indicates that you have to give up your Spanish Citizenship if you become British.

Note this has nothing to do with the UK or Home Office.

Hi,
Just found this information on google could someone please confirm is that correct information?
(Spain does not currently recognise Spanish and British dual nationality, )

Yes, it appears correct. Dual nationality is only recognised by Spain if from the limited countries mentioned in the link I provided.

If you are British and become Spanish
may differ from
if you are Spanish (by origin) and become British?
