Why Spain? If you just want to get married anywhere outside the Netherlands, why not just go to a neighbouring country like Belgium or the UK? All the EU countries have slightly different rules and the time it takes varies, so if I was you I'd research the easiest and quickest place. I'm not an expert, but I bet it won't be Spain. But if you're illegal, you might need to take the girl of your dreams back to your place of origin, marry her there and then come back to Europe.

English does not seem to be the OP's first language, and if there are problems with marriage then perhaps his nationality is non-EU so all sorts of complications could arise . If you are still using these boards why not ask your embassy-not all are helpful but it is meant to be their job to advise their citizens, and they would probably know of any problems due to your nationality.
