This forum is for U.S. taxes. If you are a U.S. citizen or resident, then you must report the income on your U.S. tax return.

Tickle is not quite correct. You have not been resident in Spain long enough to fall under their taxing powers.
It is your residency, not who is paying you, that determines who gets to tax you. The other country will give a tax credit to avoid double taxation.
