Go for it!

Before you go, you should practice speaking to as many Spanish speakers in Spanish as you can in your own country. This will help improve your Spanish, and also help build confidence in being able to speak to someone in a different language. Reading things in Spanish will also help quite a bit.

Native speakers of a language, by definition, speak it correctly. Perhaps you mean speaking it in the most prestigious way? Listen to recordings of the King of Spain, and try to imitate that. Or the most formal, prescribed grammatically correct way? If so, you should spend a lot of time learning via reading historical literature for that.
