Spanish City - Whitley Bay

The Spanish City was thrown open to the public as one of a number of venues taking part in Heritage Open Day, within North Tyneside. The intention is that this building will become a part of a new hotel complex. The Spanish City features in Mark Knofler's Dire Straits song Tunnel of Love.
