The woman, 18, alleges the man forced himself on her in La Rosaleda, Valladolid, after they met on a night out.
The suspect, 28, was remanded in prison after appearing before a judge.
In a remand ruling, the judge concluded the Brit had been drinking heavily and was doubtful she had consented to sex.
Now the case will be probed in a criminal court in Spain where they will decide if there is enough evidence to press ahead with a trial.
The woman has now ratified a formal complaint, according to reports.
It is not clear if she was on holiday or had lived in Valladolid.
The duo reportedly met while in a well-known bar area, with the arrest made on Wednesday.
It comes after an Irishman was this week arrested on suspicion of raping a British tourist in party hotspot Magaluf.
But he was freed after a court appearance, during which she declined to press charges.
She says she agreed to go back to his apartment but did not consent to sex.
Before then, a different Irishman alleged he was raped by two men after being kicked out of a brothel.
He said the men were waiting for him after he had been enticed by two women who offered a striptease, but didn't realise he didn't have enough money.
He told police he did not want to press charges because he felt "ashamed" over the incident.
