Speaking Spanish

Just like the US where English has accents in different parts of the country, the same is true in Spain. 

Not being a Spanish speaker, I’m sure I don’t know the half of it, but I did notice a couple particularly obvious inflections: many of the harder consonants were softened and the S sound was changed to a “th.” For example, as for softened consonants, the word “Madrid” sounds more like “Madreeth” so the last D sound is pronounced as a softly voiced “th.”

There is a town we will probably have a concert in in the Aragon province which is spelled Zaragoza but pronounced “Tharagotha” so both the Z and S sounds are rendered as “th.” And Barcelona is pronounced “Barthelona.”

Here is a short overview of the different provinces and their flavors: https://youngadventuress.com/2013/01/guide-regions-in-spain.html
