The man was part of a Blackburn-based gang operating between 2022 and 2024.
The crew were involved in trafficking cocaine, katamine and cannabis.
He was said to be responsible for laundering cash via his personal bank accounts and for controlling drug supplies.
The suspect fled the UK when one of his associates was detained, leading to the issue of a European Arrest Warrant in his name.
The Policia Nacional received information that he was hiding in Benidorm and executed his arrest at an unspecified location.
The man has been handed over to the custody of the National Court in Madrid which will process his extradition to the UK.
