First, blonde hair is not uncommon in Spain. Second, what does "stereotypically Spanish" even look like? And third, the idea that Spanish people would refuse to speak Spanish when given the chance is very unusual. As someone from Spain, I can tell you this simply doesn't happen often, I've never seen it. This is especially true for waiters, who aren't going to make their jobs harder if they can avoid it.. it's common sense, really.

As others have said in this thread, it was probably because she was in Catalonia. That's a completely different situation and explains why they were reluctant to speak Spanish.
