Does anyone know the Spanish equivalent to British Gypsum "Multi Finish" slow setting plaster?

No, but I can recommend a really good builder who does. He's Marbella-based - any good to you?

We once used something called “Yesoplast”, very slow setting but unfortunately a bit more expensive. We wanted a slightly textured effect to give a more rustic look, it was mixed to a ‘toothpaste consistency’, and after it was applied, it was still workable for quite a while, a was bit like (dare I say it) artex!

No - not a builder's wife - not anyone's wife actually - just someone who had a good builder and is willing to recommend if anyone needs one down Marbella way - he was recommended to me and did a good job. It's rare to find a builder who does a good job and doesn't inflate his prices because his client is a woman.
