Cannot help about spanish residency but obviously is not the same for a EU Citizen than for third countries citizens.

Sorry to compare Greece with Spain, but it is perhaps a similar mentality. The wait for the door to open starts at the Athens Consulate about one hour before it opens. Then everyone rushes upstairs. Impossible to queue. A general pushing and shoving. By the time you get to your turn the two hours are practically over. If you have a plane or a boat to catch to your island they don't care. Come back tomorrow! Yes, it is a very good training for what lies ahead once you have secured your Indian visa.

That's the description of Brazilian Consulate to me

Did you get the visa yet? If so how? And how long did it take? I've heard bad stories about going directly to the Indian Embassy in Spain but need to get a visa soon myself.
