	phdstudent, everydbody speaks Spanish in Barcelona. Most of the people are bilingual there.

	Very good.

	I definitely forgot about Madrid and Barcelona. I was too focussed on Latin America. Facepalm.

	If it wasn't for Valencia, Venezuela I would have pressed give up without considering Spain.

	For some reason I completely forgot about Central America. Durr.

	phdstudent, Spanish/Castilian isn't a "3rd or 4th" language for anybody in Barcelona. Everyone grows up speaking both Spanish and Catalan, so both Spanish and Catalan are everyone's first languages.

	Just for fun I tried Miami.

	@nymatts78654 maybe because it doesn't have enough population?

	I think the description needs clarification: "most populous cities in countries where Spanish is an official language." Individual cities (and, in the U.S., states) often have language policies of their own.

	I checked Wikipedia (after my final attempt at this quiz) to see whether Spanish was still an official language of New Mexico, and apparently it no longer enjoys that status. But the Albuquerque metropolitan area (New Mexico's largest) has only 840 thousand souls, so it wouldn't qualify anyway.

	Good quiz. I did not know that Spanish was "official" in Puerto Rico, especially since English isn't even official in the US. Weird.

	Barquisimeto, Venezuela. Population 1,995,770.

	smike:	Mar 24th, 2013 at 17:20 GMT		0 points
	Puerto Rico is not a country, it is part of the USA. The USA law stands above that of Puerto Rico. So Spanish is not an official language in the USA, San Juan is not a correct answer.
