Spanish City

The Spanish City is a feasting and-relaxation center in Whitley Bay, an ocean side town in North Tyneside, Tyne and Wear, England. Raised as a littler form of Blackpool's Pleasure Beach, it opened in 1910 as a show corridor, eatery, rooftop garden and coffee bar. A dance floor was included 1920 and later a perpetual funfair. Situated close to the seafront, the Spanish City has a 180 ft-long 54.8 m Renaissance-style facade and ended up known for its unmistakable dome, now a Grade II recorded building.

There are towers on either side of the passageway, every one of which conveys a half-life-measure female bacchanalian figure in lead, one holding cymbals, the other a tambourine. The building's planners were Robert Burns Dick, Charles T. Marshall and James Cackett. The band Dire Straits deified the Spanish City in their 1980 hit single, "Passage of Love", which from that point on was played each morning when it opened. By the late 1990s the building had fallen into deterioration, and in the mid 2000s it was shut to the public. A recovery venture was reported in 2011. The building re-opened as a feasting and-relaxation focus toward the finish of July 2018. Explore and experience this place more.
