I'm no OM-10 expert, but are you setting it to 'manual'? I think you need
to (even if you don't have the manual adapter) to get flash to consistently
work. Others will correct me (I'm sure) if I am inaccurate.
By the way, I've been to Spain a couple times and think it is just
beautiful. I had an opportunity to spend a week there right before
Christmas, gasp, 11 years ago, and it was just enthralling (Barcelona).
Later I returned for a visit to Madrid.
Always business trips, so little fun, but enjoyable.
