A second fixture, expected to be against Spanish Second Division opposition, will take place at a venue in the Madrid region on Saturday night July 20.
Albion launch their pre-season programme at Conference South newcomers Whitehawk on July 6 (3pm).
After returning from Spain they visit League One Sussex rivals Crawley Town at the Broadfield Stadium on July 24 (7.45pm).
