We have lived in Spain for two years now.  We were told to (and did) take out Residencia after 3 months but could not become Tax Residents (ie. make an application under the UK /Spain dual taxation agreement) until we had been Resident in Spain for 6 months in one calendar year.  As we became Residents in the month of August we had to wait until the end of June of the following year before we met that requirement. 

Incidentally, once you start living in Spain, regardless of residency, you have to go along to your local town hall and apply for your "Padron" (Empadronamiento) which is usually free or costs about 1€ and which you are then supposed to carry with you at all times. This is supposed to be renewed annually.

Palmera Properties should not be confused with Palmera Estates who are a new company whom I can highly recommend.
