I realize this post is old but I stumbled upon it and DH and I are debating what this means:

"My friends absolutely froze in the winter in Salamanca, so we decided to go to Andalucia even though the level of Spanish is not as good." (WTnow)

What does the poster mean about the level of Spanish being not so good. Sorry if this is a stupid question.
Any thoughts?

Salamanca is known for their pure Spanish. From two different weblinks:
>>>Salamanca is pure 'Castellano' with no regional accents or dialects. <<<
>>>In Salamanca, people speak clear Spanish, free of dialect. <<<

WTnow writes a blog about their ongoing travels. I think they have been traveling for about two years now.

My daughter's high school Spanish teacher always took groups of students to Salamanca in the summers to take classes. She always used Enforex.

the andalusians have a heavy accent and that is what she is referring too, along with other indiosyncrasies of the way they speak/ pronounce words..

which the rest of spaniards find charming and even amusing.

andalucia is the energy of spain.. they have an amazing sense of humor!any joke told with an andalucian accent is three times as funny.

You could post an ad on campusanuncios.com or loquo.com for each city and see what sort of response you get.

Passport thing: I believe it is possible to stay for the 3 months, then get a flight to morocco (cheap ryanair) and come back, to renew your travel visa for another 3 months.
I have heard of this but I am not sure.

No, you can't fly to Morocco to renew your travel visa. You can only stay 90 days out of 180 day timeframe.
