Well you can get any old GSM phone you can hold of in the US, as long as it's "quad-band" and supports European frequencies on 900 and 1800 MHz.
Ask around amongst your friends (most likely those on AT&T or T-mobile), if they still have an old device or go to a store that sells old devices for a few $$$.
Be sure that it's unlocked, if you want to use it on an European SIM card.

Note, that you will face incoming roaming charges being called from the US and that overseas calls on Spanish providers are not cheap.
But for local calls only, you'll be allright.
For 2G/GSM Movistar in Spain still has the best coverage in remote areas, but Vodafone and Orange are good too.
You can use one of their resellers too as they have the same footprint.
