Andalucia


Andalucia is a distinctly different region of Spain than Castilla. The z and the c seem to retain their soft pronunciation here: gracias is pronounced “grasias”, not “grathias”. The agriculture has changed a little too. Castilla grows the Roman trifecta: grain, grapes, olives. Andalucia has a lot more olive orchards, as well as citrus. There are still grain and grapes, but in lower quantities. Sugar cane and sunflowers abound as well.
