The Spanish in Ecuador is referred to as "castellano" (Castilian). Castilian Spanish is spoken in northern and central Spain, but is also spoken in southern and western Spain but with a different accent. So I guess the language is connected more with Spain than with Mexico. The book also indicated that Ecuador is the main Latin American location for overseas Spanish study by students.Julie and Haroldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12194254706889858175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4929940504602315910.post-7848733317150804592011-01-14T19:51:17.311-06:002011-01-14T19:51:17.311-06:00Hola, Bernadet.

(No habla espanol) BTW, is the Spanish they speak there like the Spanish in Mexico, or like Spain, or is there some other language. I look forward to your updates!Bernadet Rodakowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15187519891417686945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4929940504602315910.post-33985355187052288102011-01-12T08:32:28.978-06:002011-01-12T08:32:28.978-06:00Plus or minus slight variability in quality and pr...Plus or minus slight variability in quality and price, I agree, you've probably seen all of the crafts you are going to see. However, I suspect, you'll keep going back to the craft market, wondering if the stock has changed.Juleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14781133591936594583noreply@blogger.com
