Only the first sentence is correct. (I think I would say "by traveling to Spain.)

"One day" is used for an indefinite time. Use it when you are not pinning down the exact date.

"One day, long ago, I bought a dog."

This works for the future also.

"One day I will buy a dog."

You can use "a day" when you are talking about the passage
