WETHERSPOONS has confirmed that more pubs are opening in Spain, after the success of their first in mainland Europe.
Last month, the famous pub chain opened its first pub outside of the UK at Alicante Airport.
Following this, two more pubs will now open at Barcelona-El Prat Airport in the capital city.
The first one will be at Terminal 1, set to open by September 2026.
This will be followed by a second at Terminal 2 by January 2027.
Passengers will have to go through security to drink at them as they are both airside rather than landside.

Little else is known about the pubs, including what they will be called, but they will have space for almost 600 passengers.
You can get an early drink too – they’ll be open every day from 5am to 11pm, including real ale.
The menu is likely to be similar to the Alicante menu, which is mainly the British classics with a few Spanish dishes as well.
Drink prices haven’t been confirmed, although the also similar to the Spanish pub, beers are around £3.50.
Wetherspoon boss Tim Martin said: ” We are delighted to have secured two fantastic sites at Barcelona airport.
“In the short time since opening our pub at Alicante airport has proven popular with travellers and we are confident we can replicate that at our two new pubs in Barcelona.”
He added that they aim to open more pubs in mainland Europe in the next few years, particularly at airports.
The Sun’s Assistant Travel Editor Sophie Swietochowski was one of the first to try the new Wetherspoons in Alicante, called Castell de Santa Barbara.
She explained: “The pub has pitched close to the gates for UK flights to draw in the near 650,000 Brits that pass through this airport monthly.
“Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the small space with light, while candy floss, glossy tiles give it a warm atmosphere.
“There’s a tea and coffee station in the corner, while behind the bar there’s not a whiff of scampi fries or Walkers in sight but instead European holiday favourite, Lays.
“This one boasts something that all other airport Wetherspoons do not, however – an outdoor terrace, where you can catch those last glimpses of Spanish sunshine before jetting off home to drizzly England.”
In the mean time, Spain is home to a dupe pub called Weatherspains, as well as 100 Montaditos which is dubbed the Spanish Wetherspoons.
