No, JB. It is an actual Embassy. Look what I found:

Since 2006 Spain has had an Embassy in Port of Spain and the announcement made by King Juan Carlos about the establishment of such a mission has left many confused. Addressing the Parliament on Monday, His Majesty said: "It is now 40 years since our two States established diplomatic relations. This anniversary coincides with the opening of a Spanish resident Embassy in Port of Spain, intended to expand our bilateral relations in the future." The Express learnt that there is an Embassy located on the 11th Floor of the Tatil Building on Maraval Road in Newtown, Port of Spain. The mission has been accredited since November 21, 2006 and is under the leadership of His Excellency Fernando de la Serna.... |
No senior moment, it was the Express mistake. *shaking head* Good for the Ambassador of Spain that reminded them it was not a Royal mix up!

While your Editorial comment ("Much to gain from royal visit") on Tuesday, February 17, 2009, regarding the visit of Their Majesties, the King and Queen of Spain, to this country was very positive, your news item "King: Spain to set up Embassy in T&T" on that same day surprised me, the more so, since on December 24, 2006, the Express had published a half-page interview with me entitled "Centuries after Chacon...Spain returns to T&T: ...Permanent Ambassador appointed". It would seem that the memory of your staff is short. I do not think His Majesty, the King of Spain, is ever wrong, so the title of your news item the following day, February 18, "Royal mix-up?", is out of place. In his address to both houses of Parliament, he said that the opening of the embassy of Spain in Port of Spain had taken place when it was now 40 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between both countries. This happened in 1967. Fernando de la Serna Ambassador of Spain |
