Do I need an International Patent for a Kickstarter Campaign if there is a similar product in Spain that holds an EU Patent already?

My product holds a provisional patent in the US and I'm just about to launch a Kickstarter Campaign. I've been researching and there's a very similar product in Spain, which holds an EU Patent. Will I incur patent infringement if European Users buy my product on Kickstarter or my e-commerce website?

You should ask a patent attorney.
