Other options. Usually stand-alone wood stoves, I like soapstone clad, for heat storage. Such wood stoves are also called "nordic", or "swedish" stoves. These you stoke relatively small fires in, starting in the morning, gradually heating up the heavy stone structure. 200-300-500 kg of soapstone! The heat is released for hours and hours after that. Alas, these are slow stoves, while in the south of Spain the temperature during the day can be quite nice, and you don't need a stove. Only in the evening, when it gets cold you want warmth quickly. Soap stone stoves are not really suited for that. You want a metal stove that can generate heat immediately. But, these are really beautiful!
These caught my eye in the Attika catalog. But, Attika does not make stoves themselves, they market other manufacturers stoves usually.
A standalone woodstove would mean removing the existing insert and it’s enclosure in the living room. Quite doable. Not different from installing a new insert, as that requires breaking down part of the enclosure, too. Decisions.

The Xeoos is a novel stove, aiming for very efficient and clean burning. You light it, then switch to burning mode. Then what happens is that the burning gases do not go up into the chimney, but DOWN into the bottom compartment, where they burn. Amazing! Look at the website: Xeoos
