There are threads in the forum that talk about the differences. They may just as well talk about the differences between the Spanish spoken in the other twenty-plus countries, because every one of those countries used Spanish in their own little way.
In my opinion, if you can converse in Latin American Spanish, you will probably not have great difficulty learning how to speak Peninsular Spanish.

I am sorry Rusty, but I am Chilean and I speak castellano. What's more, one of the 4 official languages is castellano and not one of those is called Spanish or español.
All this to the best of my knowledge.
