Surely the most important thing here is whether you want to relocate to a different country? It's quite a big life decision and I would put that ahead of any contract vs. permie choice.
I'm assuming you have no ties to the UK (wife, kids, poorly family members etc.) which gives you the freedom to live and work where ever you want? Given that you're familiar with Barcelona and would be happy living there, it sounds like a great opportunity to live a different lifestyle for a few years and that has got to be worth a lot in any decision. Assuming the permie package is enough to life the lifestyle you want, I'd say take it. You usually regret the things you don't do more than the things you do. Worst case? It doesn't work out so after 6 months or so you move back to the UK and find another contract. What have you really lost?
