  • The pub, named Castell de Santa Bárbera, features a menu with classic British fare alongside Spanish options, and staff fluent in both English and Spanish.
  • While some customers found the prices high, others were delighted to have access to Wetherspoons during their travels, with one woman even buying a plane ticket solely to visit the pub.
