These are the answers of some Facebook group members:

”Try citizens advise Spain. They maybe able to help or direct you”

”What do you mean by reclaim? If you were born in Spain, there is no reason to think you would have lost your citizenship. Unless I’m missing something, you likely just need a fresh copy of your birth certificate, and to register with your local consulate as a resident so you can get a new passport”

In conclusion, according to Spainguru Facebook group members, it is advisable contacting Citizens Advice Spain for assistance. Another member highlights the likelihood of not losing citizenship if born in Spain, recommending obtaining a fresh birth certificate and registering with the local consulate to acquire a new passport.
