Freedom of movement applies to all EU member states, although restrictions can be placed on new members to the EU. It also applies to Norway, Iceland and Lichtenstein (who make up the EEA alongside the 27 EU member states) and Switzerland.
OP is a UK citizen, (not an EU citizen) but also a resident in Spain. ERGO, he can live elsewhere in EU if he wants to, but must satisfy the entry criteria for a 3rd country national. He may, of course, visit for 90 days out of 180, visa free. AFAIAA
Spot on elcarretero.... Don't argue with freddo ... He's an expert on everything . ;)

It was only lately I read it somewhere. Can't remember where. Your Spanish Residencia only gives you permanent residence in Spain. Not any other EU country. You can travel to any other EU country for 90 days as a tourist.
