No. It originated in France.

who also says that SARS 1 was a manufactured weapon

"Researchers have been able to determine that the novel coronavirus pandemic is a natural event and that the SARS-CoV-2 virus isn’t a man-made bioweapon, as you might have heard from that friend or family member of yours who keeps forwarding conspiracy theories to your phone."

"Scientists from around the world (Scripps Research, Tulane University, University of Sydney, University of Edinburgh, and Columbia University) were able to prove that the SARS-CoV-2’s design and M.O. are the result of a natural evolution of the virus, rather than laboratory engineering.
“By comparing the available genome sequence data for known coronavirus strains, we can firmly determine that SARS-CoV-2 originated through natural processes,” Scripps Research’s Scripps Research told Science Daily.

The team concluded that the binding to ACE2 was so effective that it can only have occurred via natural selection, not genetic engineering.

“Two features of the virus, the mutations in the RBD portion of the spike protein and its distinct backbone, rule out laboratory manipulation as a potential origin for SARS-CoV-2,”

"The discovery should kill conspiracy theories, but that’s just a bonus..."

I am saying that I KNOW that it did not originate in Spain.
