All I know is I worked with an older lady for a while from Venezuela and I thought she was going to die coughing or gagging while trying to speak both Spanish and English.

San Antonio and Corpus Christie are the only acceptable answers.

Just watch the Mexican soap operas or novelas. Spanish in Spain is equivalent to reading Old English i.e. the King James Bible. It's proper Spanish, but not everyday Spanish.
Spanish singers lose the proper accent when singing like British singers lose the English accent when singing.

A few points, from an American Spanish-speaker. Colombians Will tell everyone that they speak the most beautiful Spanish in the world. Well, they routinely mispronounce the"'ll" sound . They call the drug capital "Medejene" instead of Medellin.
Castilian Spanish, as spoken in Castile (central Spain) is NOT like Jacobean English. I've known Spanish for 30 years. It's as contemporary as anywhere with the notable exception of the "th" on the soft c or z and the use of the informal vosotros .
For me, a deliberate, somewhat educated Mexican is the clearest and easy to understand.
Argentines will also throw out "vos" as well, and it's hard to figure.

I think you are correct, central Mexicans (educated) have the clearest spanish of all.

Educated Mexicans and Columbians in my experience. NOT Cuban.

I've never heard a better dialect of Spanish from outside of the Castillian regions of Spain, than in Bogota Colombia. They sound strikingly similar.

The brothas in Columbia, Cuba, PR, DR, and Venezuela can speak a jive dialect of Spanish that is damn near impossible to understand. I had a Cuban descent friend in the Navy that could turn on the jive dialect and it was something to behold.

Never came across it. Then again, I don't go down to jive-speaking areas of Colombia haha

there is an argot started by Italian prisoners, which is part of the tango culture.

Italy. They invented the Romance Language.

As someone who learned Spanish from Mexicans and has met Spanish speaking people from all over, it is of my opinion, that excluding Spain, Venezuala speaks the prettiest/"best" Spanish.
