Does my spouse (non-EEA) with UK Residence card need a visa to spain? [duplicate]

I have an Italian passport, currently residing in the UK with my wife, who only has a South African passport & UK Residence card.
We are planning on going to Spain for a week, however I have been told by a couple of people that my wife does not need a visa, we just need to travel together with an original marriage certificate in hand. However I have also been told that we do need to get a visa.
Can anyone clarify this for me please?
