Check the contract that you parents have signed - in order for it to be legally binding it should be in both English and Spanish. It should also be a "Vivienda" type contract, which denotes that it is for the long term, as opposed to a short term Holiday let.
Once you have a copy of the contract you should take it to the nearest visit the nearest municipal consumers' office (OMIC - Oficina Municipal de Información del Consumidor), who should be able to advise you exactly where your parents stand legally. There are a number of circumstances when the owners can legally ask your parents to leave, so it really depends on the official reasons that they have stated in writing.

If I read it correctly it doesn't sound like your parents have any legal ground. If the duration of the contract was 15 years and that 15 years has since passed, they no longer live there. They would have had to renew the contract before that time was up.
If the owner wants to sell, they don't really have a choice but to leave.
