WETHERSPOONS is opening its first ever pub in continental Europe next month – and Brits heading to Spain can visit soon.
The new pub – called Castell de Santa Bàrbera – will be found at Alicante Airport.
It will be in the departures area, so Brits will be able to make the most of it while waiting for their flight home.
The pub will be set across 1,000sqft, with an outdoor terrace as well – the first pub garden of its kind at an airport departures.
It will be open seven days a week from 6am to 9pm, with food served all day until the last hour before closing.
Classics will include the standard breakfast options as well as burgers and pizzas.

But Spanish dishes will also be part of the menu include omelette and garlic prawns.
You won’t have to wait long either – it’s opening next month, on February 9 at 11am.
Flights to Alicante can be found for as little as £15 with Ryanair, taking around 2h40.
Wetherspoon boss Tim Martin said: “ We are very much looking forward to opening our first pub in Spain.
“We believe it will be popular with a wide range of customers,
including those travelling home to the UK and those using the terminal
for other destinations.”
And he said there were more plans to open outside of the UK too.
He added: “We aim to open a number of pubs overseas in the coming months and years, including those at airports.”
Sir Tim suggested this could be as many as 200, across popular Spanish destinations like Benidorm and Majorca.
However, he didn’t rule out opening in winter sun hotspots too although this is yet to be confirmed.
In the mean time, there is a dupe pub called Weatherspains in Spain, which was even named a top attraction by Tripadvisor.
And also in Spain is a chain of bars dubbed the Spanish Wetherspoons.
Called 100 Montaditos, you’ll find jugs of beer for £1.50 and sandwiches for £1.
Here’s how to find the UK’s biggest Wetherspoons – and it even has a rooftop bar.
