Cuban Spanish is very heavily influenced by that of the Canary Islands, as the first settlers came from Gran Canaria. There is also something of a Gallego influence on folks from Havana and Santiago, to say nothing of the African influence. Puerto Rico and DR also have heavy Afro-Carib influence on the accents, especially noticeable in places like Loiza on PR.

I've never been a fan of Caribbean Spanish, and prefer that spoken in the interior of Colombia.

I love “El Eje Cafetero” myself, more for the climate than for the Spanish. If it weren’t for a chronic health problem I have, I’d look to retire in Armenia or Pereira. But because of the “broken US health system,(s/o)” I’ll be here for a while, anyway.

Mom was actually born in Asturias, which is near Galicia, and spent most of her childhood in Cuba. In Cuba, anybody like that is called a “galleguito” - they don’t seem to differentiate much.
