Andypaul is correct. Elsa applied for her Schengen Visa at the Spanish Embassy in Manchester, and it was very easy, straightforward. If you are married to a British passport holder, the visa will be free, you just need to call the Embassy and leave your name and address, they will then send an application form, send that back, they will then ask you to come to the Embassy to submit that application form with the required documentation, and then a few weeks later, visa will be stamped on your passport and returned to you by post. If you can try to get a "multiple entry" Schengen Visa, these are valid for 6 months, and it saves the hassle of applying again in a short period of time.
