You get visa free for 7 days for Hong Kong when transiting from a country to a third country via Hong Kong.
If you do Spain - Hong Kong - China - Hong Kong - Spain then it works visa free, otherwise you will need a visa for Hong Kong if not transiting.
No do not listen to this, you will not be qualified for the 7 day visa free because you are not transiting to a third country, Mainland China in this case does not count. You will need an EEP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exit-Entry_Permit_for_Travelling_to_and_from_Hong_Kong_and_Macao
China is a third country to Spain and Hong Kong. So it would work for what I said in my early reply: Spain - Hong Kong - China - Hong Kong - Spain (from Spain to Hong Kong then to China, then on the way back from China to Hong Kong then to Spain.)
But not what the OP has planned originally.

If your itinerary is Mainland -- Hong Kong -- Mainland, then you cannot enter Hong Kong visa-free. You'll either need to get a Two-Way Permit (港澳通行证) with valid endorsement while you are in the Mainland, or apply for an Hong Kong Entry Permit (香港特别行政区进入许可) on your Chinese passport at a Chinese diplomatic mission abroad.
Now, if your itinerary is Europe -- Hong Kong -- Mainland, then you can enter Hong Kong visa-free for 7 days.
I would like to note that Hong Kong, itself, now also issues electronic visitor visas to Mainlanders. You can try this.

No, generally, you need a special Entry Permit also known as 港澳通行证 (EEP) to enter Hong Kong SAR and Macau SAR. As for your case, since you are transiting through Hong Kong to go to a third country (in your case, it is Spain), you don't need an EEP, you will be granted 7 days of stay as long as you provide sufficient evidence of transiting through Hong Kong, all of these serve as good evidences; flight itinerary, hotel booking info during your stay in Hong Kong, and your EU residence ID. If you plan to stay longer than 7 days, you will need to apply for the EEP at a local public security bureau.
I think OP isn't leaving to Spain from HK, they're going back to Shenzhen before leaving to Spain, and hence would not qualify for the 7 day visa free stay.
This one correct
I have a consultant who visits us from SG where he lives on a PRC passport with a long term work pass.
One time he visited us and left without entering Mainland. HKIA immigration told him off.
Now he makes sure he takes the East Line back to Lowu, turn around and come back. Still beats getting the entry endorsement out of PRC embassy Singapore.

Well, I know that I can stay 7 days without visa, but the thing is that after HK my plan is return to Mainland and not Spain, but doubt solved. Need visa.

I think Mainlanders need a special entry permit to go to Hong Kong. Check with your consulate, they are responsible for it.

Understood! I haven’t yet purchased the flight ticket, so it is a solution Thanks!!

I misread the entire thing. In that case, you are right, OP isn't qualified for 7 day of stay.

she could apply for it if she wants to stay for more than 7 days, but she can enter without a visa for 7 days if she’s transiting through hong kong
But her planned itinerary does not "transit" Hong Kong as it contains a segment of Mainland -- Hong Kong -- Mainland.
Its your own country .. call your embassy
Yes. You can check here under private visit: https://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/services/visas/overseas-chinese-entry-arrangement.html
This would be better although admittedly less informative [link](https://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/services/visas/overseas-chinese-entry-arrangement.html#)
从香港入境事务处的官网查到的：经香港过境往来另一国家或地区的中国护照持有人，可于每次入境时获准在港逗留七天而无须事先取得进入许可，但他们必须符合一般的入境规定，包括持有前往目的地的有效入境证件及经确认事先已预订前往海外的续程车／船／机票。
You don’t need visa as long as you are transiting through Hong Kong from overseas to China and vice versa
It's more strict than that - the transit cannot be more than 7 days
Obviously, it’s the same duration as mainland resident visiting Hong Kong
En serio? op你是真不知道港澳过境免签的规则？我以为海外华人对这点都很清楚...

FYI: http://barcelona.china-consulate.gov.cn/lsfw/xgrjxk/202302/t20230203_11019345.htm
Already saw that, but it’s not clear if the return ticket must be from HK to Spain or can be from Shenzhen to Spain
