Her 69-year-old husband also thought to be British, is understood to have been arrested at the scene.
He is under police guard in hospital with a knife wound to the stomach.
Police rushed to the scene following a report made by a neighbour around 3.50 am.
Cops found the victim’s body shortly after arriving at the property before arresting her partner.
Local reports said the unnamed suspect had been included in a database after being accused of domestic violence in 2019, two years after the couple moved to Spain.
His wife reportedly declined to press charges and the case was dropped soon after.
