I don't think she'd be allowed to if she had just a Spanish licence.
The old dodge used to be to 'lose' a UK licence, get a duplicate, hand in the original to swap for the non-UK licence and keep the duplicate for driving in the UK... totally illegal of course.

When I swapped, the DVLA were informed by the Spanish.

Look here chaps, I voted for this Brexit thingy and would really appreciate if you wouldn't keep pointing out the various ways I was hoodwinked into putting my country into a far worse position for us all.
It's embarrassing.

As for riding, well since the 13th I have ridden through Spain, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Czechia and currently in Slovakia. Tomorrow riding to Croatia.

I moved to Spain because I wanted to live my retirement in the sun. Brexit just meant I had to retire and move 5 years earlier than planned. I'm not bitter about it though, as its worked out well (for me)
