Did King Philip of Spain move to Spain after the death of his wife Queen Mary?
Yes, although he often had to visit his other territories in the Low Countries. However, even when he was married to Queen Mary, he did not spend a great deal of time in England.
WikiPedia makes absolutely now mention of Phillip II of Spain ever living in England. It says that he lived in the Netherlands in the early years of his reign.
If you look up Phillip II of Spain it lists him as King of England and Ireland. However, if you look up English Monarchs it lists Mary I as the English Monarch. It was not unusual for a Royal couple to continue to rule their respective kingdom with one spouse not having control over the other's kingdom.
Additionally, Wikipedia specifically states that once Phillip II returned to Spain in 1559, the year after Mary's death, he never again left again.
What do houses in Spain look like?
In rural Spain, Spanish architecture can be classified as "Mediterranean architecture". This is especially true for coastal areas, where Mediterranean influences are more pervasive. I think that many houses are made of white clays and stone (but I'm not sure). I do know that Spanish houses have large open spaces to ventilate the heat.
You should be able to find Greek, Roman, and maybe even Moorish influences in Spanish homes,

How many Barcelona fans are there?
There could well be over 400 million fans. As it is a very big, rich , powerful club with big big stars in it.
It could be over 4,000,000,000 too, but I doubt that number. Spain only had an estimated population of 40,525,002 as of 2009. And I know for a fact my 2 bothers-in-law in Sevilla are rabid Betis fans. That leaves a potential 40,525,000 fans in Spain.
For example you're saying 'como se escribe mesa?' The answer would be mesa se escribe M E S A.
