Spanish Plaster

[Skyshed]

Hi all,
I'm heading to Barcelona area to help friends who are renovating a house there.
I'm a plasterer with 25 years experience in UK, but never used Spanish materials.
It'll be mostly plastering onto those clay bricks, high suction no doubt.
Could anyone recommend a product for going over brick? I've heard about a plaster called escayola, used as a backing plaster and can either be sponged then trowelled up to a slightly rustic finish, or coated with perlita...
I may be completely wrong though! (Probably!)
Also do they use PVA there or some Sika product to kill the suction/ bonding agent?
I may resort to sand and cement though wouldn't know about local admixes...
Any advice welcome!
Cheers
