Pronunciation
Bit of a family debate going on.
Almeeeria or Almaria . Which is correct way to pronounce Almeria. I know there is not an Small ‘a’ in the word but that’s how it’s sometimes sounds, Thanks.

Hi
I don't know how the locals in the province pronounce it but my Spanish friends in other parts of Spain pronounce it as "ahl - meh - ree ah" with the stress on the "ree"
It will be interesting to find out whether others in the area have a different pronunciation
P.S. I have see the word written as Almería and Almeria. The pronunciation that I have given is based on the first word Almería.

The letter that has the accent above it is accentuated, therefore 'Almer ee a'.

I’ve heard it pronounced Al maria & Al meeeria. Personally I use Al Maria but each to their own lol
Hi Doris
Just for information. If in future you want to know how to pronounce Spanish words then the following site is a pretty good source
https://www.spanishdict.com/translate/almer%C3%ADa
Just click on the audio icon to the right of your chosen Spanish word in black type, which in this case is Almería and listen to the pronunciation. Normally when you click on the icon you are given a choice of either the Spanish or Latin American pronunciation, where there is a difference between the two.
It also provides a written phonetic pronunciation of the word.
Hope this helps
Richard
