parallel

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'type of bars' is the definition.
'parallel' can be an answer for 'bars' (synonyms). I am not sure about the 'type of' bit.

'standard with all the spanish' is the wordplay.
'standard' becomes 'par' (standard of play in golf).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'par'+'all'+'el'='PARALLEL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for parallel that I've seen before include "One of the imaginary lines around the Earth" , "Always equidistant, never intersecting" , "Match" , "Circle of constant latitude" , "Similarity, comparison" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
