Answer 4

I applied to the Spanish embassy for a visa about 4 years ago.  It was a nightmare experience.  The woman there was a dragon who snapped at people "Do you seriously want to go to Spain?"  She needed a course in customer relations, as I told her.  Unfortunately I had to go back the next day - there was some minor problem with my application.  Make sure you've got everything as required, don't even bother going if there is one thing "not quite right".  I'd love to know if it is still as bad - honestly, this is the worst - even worse than the French!  Please let me know if the dragon is still there.
