quickest way to get a schengen visa

Hi everybody,

I am a EU national and my husband (non EU) and I want to travel to Spain at the end of the month.
the earliest appointment we have been able to get with the Spanih embassy is for Nov 10th - too late.

Does anybody know which embassy has the shortest waiting time for appointments and visas?

Do you reckon I could try to go to my own consulate (italian) and beg to see if they can give him a shengen visa? (I have emailed them but they refuse to issue him with one since he no longer needs a visa to travel to Italy as they have now implemented the new "freedom of movement" directive??

thanks
I
