Textbooks for Iberian Spanish?

[Robzilla]

Hello,

Most of the popular Spanish textbooks these days seem to teach Mexican/Latin American Spanish. I live in Europe and I want to teach Iberian Spanish.

Could some of you please recommend some textbooks which teach Iberian Spanish, please?

I read online that "most old textbooks taught Iberian Spanish" but they didn't name the titles! I am interested in any textbooks for Iberian Spanish both old and new.

I taught high school Spanish in California. The book I used was mostly Latin American Spanish but it also had a chapter on Spanish from Spain. Can't remember the name of the book right now. I have the book some where and will try to find it. Years ago Spanish from Spain was the only Spanish taught in schools in the U.S. Made no sense because we border Mexico and most Spanish speakers we have are from Mexico and the ones that aren't from Mexico are from Central and South America not Spain. However the Spanish language is so similar everywhere it does not make much difference what book you use. I speak Italian and Spanish so for me the difference between Spanish from Spain and Mexico no es nada.

I had a Mexican friend for example, who told me that he didn't see any difference between the way Cubans and people from Spain speak. Relativamente I see his point. I speak and understand Cuban Spanish and when I watch Spanish movies I see/hear them saying the same modismos and profanity words that Mexican don't use but Cubans do use. Cuban food also has many Spain dishes that Mexicans don't have. Most Cubans are Spanish from Spain decent.

At any rate over the years I have bought many many used Spanish text books at used book stores
and garage sales etc. etc. This is one very good Spanish text book I have that teaches both Spanish
from Spain and Latin American Spanish:
