The official languages are Spanish ( all over the state), and also Catalan ( in Catalonia and the Comunidad valenciana), Euskera ( in the Basque Country) and Galego ( in Galicia). These other languages are official WITH Spanish in the areas mentioned.
Other languages are spoken, but they are not officially recognised: Aragones ( in Aragon), Aranes ( in the valley of Arán), Bable ( in Asturias).
To foreigners it may sound like in Andalucia and other areas they speak a different language, but its just that they have a very strong accent.

I live in Spain. If you learn castellon, which is the official language the theory is you could be understood wherever you are in spain. However, there are many many areas still where the people speak their own dialect and unfortunately do not travel enough out of the area, so can't even understand their own official language. The Spanish have a close knit community, very different from northern europeans. We travel a lot etc to all parts of the world and it is only the younger spanish that do this. They are more family orientated and traditional. Not a bad thing.

At one time there were 6 including Portuguese...but now I believe only 4 remain spoken languages... Castillian, Catalan, Galician, Andalucian and Spanish. Sapin used to be divided in many regions...And of course there is Basque---the Palestinians of Europe their country appropriated by France and Spain.... Spanish however is the oficial Language of Spain. Note: Castillian is the High octane Spanish.. Like Germans have low and High German....

Spanish ("Castellano", or Castilian Spanish) is the official language of the country, but many regions of Spain have their own language that their people speak in addition to, not instead of, Spanish. They include:
Catalán
Gallego (Galician)
El Euskera (the Basque language)
Asturiano (Asturian)
There are also various dialects of Spanish spoken in different regions of Spain. But these are NOT separate languages, just dialects. The most notable one of these is Andaluz (Andalusian).

Spanish is spoken in different ways in many countries and regions. But it's always Spanish. Te same happens with English and many other languages.
