In Spain a child will get Spanish nationality after one year if born in the country regardless of parents' nationality if the child has been living in the country continuously since. This is to avoid passport tourism. So, it is Jus Sanguinis but not that strict.

Interesting conflict of the two laws:

During WW2 the Dutch monarchy fled to Canada and (later*) Queen Juliana gave birth to Princess Margriet in Ottawa. To prevent the princess from gaining the Canadian nationality on top of her Dutch one, the Canadian government passed a law that made the hospital room of Queen Juliana legally extraterritorial for the duration of her hospital stay.

*Added for clarity: at the time, Juliana was still crown princess as her mother Wilhelmina was queen until 1948.
