How much do you tip a personal driver/guide that has driven you around Spain for 12 days in a private vehicle. There are 4 of us. He has carried our luggage and stayed with us the whole time.

Personally, zero. That’s why you negotiate the price at the outset.

Is the driver literally carrying luggage, loading and unloading, and carrying it to and from your lodging, like a porter? That might warrant at least a Euro per person, per day.

Sounds like he was good, you like him and appreciate his service. For that I would give not more (EDIT) than 10% of the fee you are paying. That would be consistent with the local norm in the less common instances when tips are given.

I'm going to assume that a personal guide who drove 4 people around Spain for 12 days and stayed with you the whole time charged quite a substantial fee and as such my opinion would be that a tip is not necessary.
