It's a standard butane pigtail. Any camping shop or eBay...
I just unscrew my UK clip on adaptor and screw on the one like yours. Clip to bottle and feed in through the built in regulator.

Don't know what to say. Mine is exact same adaptor and fits fine. Maybe visit a camp accessory shop with the adaptor.

Left hand thread on the adaptor, left hand thread on the calor butane pigtail, you sure you are trying to connect the right end of the pigtail?

Gasit and Baslow do an adaptor hose that connects to the Spanish regulator and to the lpg filler inlet for around £15.
Available at most shows or online
 
In everyones experience are these adapters really necessary when travelling on the continent or do most garages, camping stores etc than fill gas tanks have a set of adapters that they use for whoever brings a MH their way?
 
Spanish adaptors are really only useable in Spain, on Spanish bottles :)
 
I bought mine from Gaslow at the NEC s/steel hose £17 approx.spot on fit.

The adaptor shown is for connecting a Spanish gas bottle to a fixed bulkhead regulator, nothing to do with adaptors for filling tanks or bottles.
 
"Somewhere" in the depth of my garage, I have just about every Gas connector, filling and outlets, known to man!. From when we did "foreign" on a regular basis. I think the (Spanish Repsol) adapter I had back then had a standard PCL outlet?. It was connected to the "Extendastay" for the R-V.

Don't know what a standard PCL outlet is but if it is the same as a calor butane 4.5 k bottle with a left hand thread (21.8 mm apparently) then that is the one, also fits French bottles.

Some of the bigger garages may have a set of adapters but its only about £30 or so for a set of adapters so easier to have them with you. Nothing worse than getting to a garage and can't fill up, been there done that lol....

Mine was for Propane. The Butane one`s are different. Which is what I Think is the one the O-P has?.

Could it be that Spanish Propane is actually a Mixed gas?. Which would allow some lea-way?. Propane (pure) has different properties to Butane (pure), and normally require different regulators, which is also why the like of Calor use different fittings.

I notice that the device shown by the O-P is not actually a regulator, but more a high pressure supply valve, the regulator is therefore on the appliance (or `van), and would have to be changed to cope with the differing gasses.

I would think that the Spanish bottles contain either Propane or Butane as in the UK, don't think that would make much difference anyway, all modern vans have bulkhead regulators which are set to 30 mbar which is a European standard for both.

It is still possible to get bottle top UK regulators set at 37 mbar for Propane, not sure about Butane at 28 mbar.

The OP showed a picture of an adaptor which in Spain have the rotating knob on the top and the threaded outlet.

The regulators, set at 30 mbar, have a flip switch on the top and the outlet is for a push fit and hose clip.

Both of these have the same awkward push down fitting onto the bottle for both Propane and Butane.

The only reason that I could think of for the OP's peoblem was that he was attempting to fit the wrong end of the pigtail to the adaptor but as the OP has not let us know the outcome we may never know.

Edit: The UK sourced adaptors seem to have a small rotating knob on the side.
