Costa Bounty Hunters are looking for James Walter Tomkins £20,000 reward
, Crimestoppers and the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) want to find 10 men believed to be connected to crimes ranging from murder to drug running.
The appeals are part of Operation Captura, which has caught eight criminals since October 2006.
They include alleged robber Clifford Hobbs, who escaped from a prison van on his way to his trial in 2003.
Mr Hobbs was arrested in Spain in August last year and is currently on trial.
Details of the 10 have been posted on a Spanish version of the Crimestoppers website.
One of the men police are trying to arrest is James Walter Tomkins, 58, who faces murder charges related to the death of Rocky Dawson in Hornchurch, Essex, in 2006.
There is a £20,000 reward for information which leads to Mr Tomkins' arrest.
'Nowhere to hide'
Another is Allan James Foster, accused of murdering David 'Noddy' Rice in a South Shields car park in 2006.
Dave Cording, Crimestoppers' director of operations said: "The success of Operation Captura speaks for itself.
British crooks who thought they could enjoy a 'yachts and villas' lifestyle in Spain have received a nasty shock
Bill Hughes, Soca
"Once the photograph of the criminal is posted on our website they have nowhere to hide. We are delighted to be working with Soca on this campaign which is halting some very serious criminal activity."
Bill Hughes, Soca's general director added: "British crooks who thought they could enjoy a 'yachts and villas' lifestyle in Spain have received a nasty shock. Many of them are now experiencing a rather different lifestyle at Her Majesty's pleasure.
"Soca has worked with Crimestoppers and the Spanish to bring these criminals to justice but we couldn't have done it without the help of the public.
"I'd like to thank all of the brave individuals who have provided vital information. Now we need your help again.
