HOLA

Think of how you’d say "hello" when stepping into a tapas bar in Barcelona.

"Spanish greeting" is a straightforward clue asking for a common way to say "hello" in Spanish. The answer is "HOLA," which is the standard informal greeting used in Spanish-speaking countries, much like "hi" in English. There’s no wordplay here—it’s a direct translation, so the clue relies on basic vocabulary knowledge. If you’ve ever heard someone greet another person in Spanish, this is likely the word they used.
