The NLV is a very popular option and could be ideal for you if (a) you have passive income (rents, dividends, pensions) and (b) you don't want/need to work (or you're willing to sneakily work remotely).

You can easily find immigration attorneys and gestors who can help you with the NLV or other residence applications (and it shouldn't be too costly). But all the information is online, and it's pretty straightforward to do it yourself (perhaps with a translator at immigration appointments if your Spanish isn't very good). The NLV official info is here:

You can try for separate and independent visa/residence permits, but usually you get one for the main applicant, then do "family reunification" for spouse and minor children. This option is here:

Separately, Catalonia is a great area, lots of lovely places. My favourite is Barcelona, but it's rather expensive these days.

Good luck!
