La Roja scored just two minutes in when they overwhelmed Portugal 5-0 in their opening match, and a similar outcome seemed possible here when Vicky Lopez shot wide from outside the box.
After that, they were kept at bay for a while, except for Olga Carmona narrowly missing the target from a distance.
The deadlock was finally broken by Alexia Putellas, who skillfully found the far corner with the outside of her foot from a wide position in the area.
However, Spain's lead lasted less than two minutes, as Justine Vanhaevermaet rose highest to score a powerful header at the near post from Tessa Wullaert’s corner.
The world champions remained undeterred and nearly regained the lead when Esther Gonzalez headed wide, before Irene Paredes volleyed off target from a tight angle.
Yet, it turned out that the captain was merely calibrating her aim, and a powerful header put her team ahead 2-1 when she connected with a deep corner, driving the ball into the net.
It could have been even more before halftime, with only a spectacular goal-line clearance by Jill Janssens preventing Lopez from scoring just before the break, while Aitana Bonmati shot wide from distance after the restart.
And they were made to pay for those missed opportunities when Belgium equalized at 2-2 through Hannah Eurlings, who was initially flagged offside but VAR confirmed that she had timed her run perfectly to break through and score with precision.
Montserrat Tome’s team responded perfectly, regaining the lead when Gonzalez, expertly set up by Putellas, also avoided the offside trap and slotted the ball past Lisa Lichtfus to make it 3-2.
Shortly after, they finally extended their lead to two goals when Mariona Caldentey capitalized on some penalty area chaos to slot the ball into the bottom corner from six yards out.
More opportunities came and went, but Pina sealed the win, shifting the ball onto her right foot before curling it into the top corner from 22 yards.
There was more drama as Putellas scored her second of the evening with a delightful flick, while Wullaert had a consolation goal disallowed for a narrow offside earlier in the play.
Spain’s six goals match the most they had previously scored in an entire EUROs tournament, while the severely wounded Belgium need Italy to lose to Portugal in the late kick-off to keep their hopes alive.
