In Spain's ordering this is number 291 of 487, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

The country's dial has two sizeable languages on it and this station is on the smaller one. 67 entries in Spain broadcast in English, against a listing whose commonest language is Spanish.

The English shelf on this site collects every station in the language regardless of where it transmits from, and the directory's English entries are concentrated in United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom. Reading the shelf next to this page is the quickest way to see how far the language's dial actually reaches.

The stream is served from ais-sa2.cdnstream1.com, an address three other entries in Spain use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.

The station's site is at splashradio.eu, which sits under the .eu country domain rather than Spain's. That mismatch is usually mundane, a host or a parent organisation registered elsewhere, and it is the kind of small inconsistency worth seeing rather than smoothing over.
