Spaniards aren't considered Hispanic. Hispanics are those of Spanish descent born in other countries or former colonies of Spain. Cultural lesson for the day.

It's a very weird question, especially since you're not gonna sound like a local simply by having one tutor from there.
But by your criteria (mostly from what many native speaker friends from various countries have told me): Colombia

That's hardly consensus. Maybe the most common U.S. interpretation of the word, at best.
It especially does not at all mean that people living in former colonies self-identify much as "hispanic/hispano."

A lot of Central American countries don't speak actual Spanish. They speak castellano. Or at least that's what the Hondurans that I work with told me.

A famous physicist was going to live in Brazil for several months, he immersed himself in Spanish in preparation for the trip. Upon arriving he was very confused as the language sounded nothing like that he had studied, it was Portuguese.

Catalan and Castilian aren't the same thing...
Colombians speak the best Castilian outside of the Spanish. Just don't go Cuban.

The written spanish is pretty much the same everywhere, Spoken spanish on the other hand, is clearest (and best IMO) in Colombia, Central Mexico and with upper class Peruvians.
