A shame but no suprise there, the embassies prefer people going to VFS instead.

More importantly, assuming your UK spouse joins you on a trip to Spain, the visa itself should have been free, in which case I'd request the visa fee back (wrongly charged visa fees have to be refunded).

Most important of all: getting the visa and enjoying your holidays in Spain.
