Spain was finally forced to improve some of their systems during covid. Its still a bit of a mess, but at least you can do some things online now.

When I lived in Spain getting my NIE number was a pain as the office was open for 2 hours in the morning. Luckily I was with an English person that spoke Spanish that helped me fill out the forms.
