It's funny reading your stories about Spain and the bureucracy you've experienced. My girlfriend's parents have had a couple of places in Spain, both away from the tourist areas, and I've heard similar stores. Whether that be the lack of power, generators, solar panels, estate agents, the mayor, the town hall, lawyers or the utility companies - it certainly seems like a difficult place to get things done and by no means straight forward. I would imagine buying a generic apartment through one of the mainstream schemes is relatively easy, going alone and buying somewhere more `authentic` and getting your head around the almost peculiar ways of doing things is another matter. Good luck.
