I was curious about the presence of Armenian institutions and churches in Spain. Here is the result of my search:
An article in PanArmenian website writes about the first Armenian church of St. Gevork which opens in Spain in 1992. It is interesting that a Christian country like Spain doesn't have an Armenian church, it's very curious situation indeed. Details of the article is here.
As to Barcelona, it has New Diasporan Armenian Community. Founded in 2004 and in cooperation with AGBU in 2010. Here is the details of the article.
SOAR-Barcelona Chapter started in 2014. As per SOAR's page, there are approximately 50,000 Armenians in Spain today, living primarily in Valencia (14,000), Barcelona (12,000), and Madrid (8,000). The first Armenian Church was opened in a small town near Barcelona in August 2009. Most Armenians in Spain speak Spanish, Armenian, Persian, and Arabic, and most belong to the Armenian Apostolic Church.
