Banned in UK, Driving in Spain?

[JackM]

Hi, I got banned on the 05/05/2011 for 17 months, I completed my drink drivers course and it got reduced to 13 months (Get my license back on the 05/06/2012). Im currently now living in spain and have been since september. Im just wondering if i can drive out here? Ive rang the DVLA who are send me out my certificate of entitlement, Is this enough to drive out here?
Thanks for any help, It will be much appreciated!
