Spilkova ended the British challenge in the round of the last eight. She beat England's Hannah Barwood (Knowle) by 5 and 3 before losing by 4 and 3 to Nilsson in the semi-finals.
The No 2 seed, Anna Arrese (Spain), seeking to complete an Iberian double - she won the Portuguese women's amateur championship at the end of January, surprisingly lost at the 19th to Sweden's Louise Ridderstrom in the quarter-finals.
Ridderstrom went down by 4 and 3 to Salaverria.
