Go to Madrid or Salamanca next time. Supposedly Salamanca has the purest spoken Spanish in Spain.

Thanks for the help. What makes the Spanish of Salamanca so much "better"?

It probably has to do with it being a college town and the level of education among its inhabitants is one of the highest. La Universidad de Salamanca is there and it prides itself on its Spanish language program. Students from Spain and all over the world go there to study so the language is more standard and less influenced by dialects that are heard in other parts of Spain.

Catalan is even spoken a little way into France, at the point just across the border from Catalonia.
I believe Salamanca is in the part of Spain called "Old Castile", where the standard form of Spanish comes from. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Catalan is spoken in Perpignan (heavily french accented!) and Sardinia (heavily Italian accented!).
