Spanish ATC
I have to agree with those above who feel that this also reflects on the political situation inside Spanish ATC.
For some time now Spanish ATC despite being some of the best paid controllers in Europe have been working to rule, you won't get a level change or a direct routing out of them or a visual approach unless it is from about 12 miles so it might as well be the full procedure.
Add to this the anti RYR feeling in Spain that has been encouraged by the media and you get this mole hill made into a mountain.
