Even Germany partially falls in this trap which is why a Romanian lady tried it on in the European court of Justice* and lost.
If benefits are universal in a country then all EU citizens that are resident in that country must have them. If there is a residency or contributory requirement then all EU citizens including that country's citizens must fulfill the requirement.
Spain is broke plus is now liable for paying for the social and health care of an increasing amount of elderly British ex-pats.
