Lewis Stevenson, 26, fell from the 630ft Castilla-La Mancha bridge in Talavera de la Reina, a 90-minute drive south-west of Madrid, on Sunday.
His partner Savannah Parker, 25, said the pair spoke for the final time as the adventurer set off to scale the bridge with another British rooftopper.
She said: ‘We spoke at half eleven and the last thing he said to me was, “Good night, I love you”.’
Office worker Savannah told MailOnline she believes Lewis may have passed out and lost his grip on his way up the landmark.
She said: ‘He didn’t just fall. He lost consciousness because he wasn’t feeling well.
‘His friend who he was with sent me over his police statement. He told his friend he wasn’t feeling well and he said, “Shall we go back down?”
‘Lewis said, “Give me a minute”, and that’s when he lost consciousness and slipped.’
Savannah said she and Lewis had been together for most of the last decade and that he has been jetting off on death-defying stunts ‘for at least five of those years’.
‘As much as it worries me, I don’t look into things because I worry enough as it is, and I just let him do his thing and generally he just comes back. This weekend he didn’t,’ she added.
‘It is one thing to hear that he’s gone but it’s how tragic it happened.’
Lweis’s grandad Clifford Stevenson, 70. tragically revealed the family ‘all tried to talk him out of’ his latest stunt.
He told the Mail: ‘We all tried to talk him out of it. We were always trying to talk him out of doing things but that was the way he was.
‘He loved doing it, always went out there believing he’d be alright. He did what he did for his own pleasure. He did not get any money for it – he was an adventurer.’
Paying tribute on Instagram, fellow rooftopper Louie_W1 wrote: ‘Knowing you has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.
‘And losing you is the greatest sadness of my life. No amount of words on a stupid Instagram post will ever describe how much I miss you.
‘You will always be the bravest, most caring and funny person I’ve ever known. I’m proud of every building, every rooftop, every moment of our time together.
‘My best friend, my brother. Rest easy, we’ll meet again one day.’
Another daredevil with the handle Vil1iany wrote: ‘You’ve been a prominent figure to me for a while and your fearless mentality will stick with me for the rest of my life.
‘It was a pleasure to be considered one of your friends, rest easy now brother, I’ll see you in another life.’
Lewis is thought to have been with a 24-year-old fellow Brit when he died. According to the Mail he is believed to be in shock at the tragedy but unlikely to face any charges.
The Talavera de la Reina Town Council reiterated after the accident that climbing the bridge ‘is totally prohibited and cannot be done under any circumstances’.
The Castilla-La Mancha is a cable-stayed bridge featuring 152 wire ropes which was opened on October 17, 2011, and cost nearly £62 million to build.
It was widely considered a waste of money by local and national media when it was built and as it carried little traffic was often referred to as the ‘bridge to nowhere’.
A year ago, local police reported two young bloggers who climbed it without any protection and then posted videos on their social media.
In 2016, two youngsters were reported for the same stunt.
