I have lived in Sweden and Ireland for a year but I came back to my home town in the North of Spain.
The meaning of this sentence is a little unclear. Did you spend one year each in Ireland and Sweden (for a total of two years), or did you spend a total of one year between both Ireland and Sweden?
Also, I don't think that "but" is the right conjunction between the two clauses. "And" might be more appropriate, or you could simply break up the one sentence into two sentences by adding a period after "year."
Finally, I would take a look at your choice of the present perfect for "I have lived..." The present perfect doesn't make sense given the phrase "for a year." You would say, "I lived [in a certain place] for a year and came back to Spain [at a certain time]." You would only use the present perfect if you were still living in Ireland or Sweden.
Overall, great job! I'm excited to read more from you.
