Jump on CRC and search "Spanish Bottom Bracket".

Quick Google tells me Spanish BB's are a direct press fit bearing with an ID of either 19 or 22mm. Not interchangeable with other BB types. I guess you need to know the crank axle diameter you are intending to fit (probably 19mm) and go from there.

yes i am going to be using 19mm bmx cranks with it. i am not sure whether it has to be bmx or mtb and if it is mtb then can it be any 68mm press fit?

Not from what I read. There are a few BMX specific BB's and they are not interchangeable. If the bike is made for a Spanish BB, then you have to fit one. They don't seem particularly expensive, and no doubt most are 19mm ID. Do you have a problem fitting it?
Yes, BMX ones will fit. It looks like the frame you have is basically a 26" bmx.

If you are not buying that specific frame, then not all Sparks are spanish BB.
If you are buying that specific frame, carry on.
