Can you spell the names of Spanish villages or towns?

Whatever your connection is to Andalucia please spell the names of places correctly!
Places that come to mind?
Antequera
Ronda
Quite a few people have incorrect spellings of their location in their profiles.

whats it to do with you ? when did it become a crime to be less than perfect ?
blooming heck ! some of us make typos in any language ( I do because I type to fast and sometimes forget to take time to check)
Some may have language disabilities and have enough trouble without folks being nasty about it.
Also english/spanish may be some folks 3/4 language, I know I would mix them all up at times.
While I do believe it is important to TRY and spell correctly, the fact that some of us type on public place is a major achievement.
Hands soap box back

ValL...........isn't it strange that all these 'perfect' people on this forum seem to just love pointing a finger at us the 'imperfect'. I completely understand your predicament....sometimes I just don't even know what language I'm speaking.....let alone writing :wink :
and shouldn't a reply on the forum be a sort of spontaneous reply....not a spelling and grammar lesson
However when someone criticises my command of a language first and then goes on to make silly mistakes them self.....they are asking for trouble . Certain forum members can laugh and criticise everyone else but when the boots on the other foot..........

I would love to know what sparked this off in the first place but lets have a vote on which of each is correct:
London or Londres
Brussels or Bruselas
Edinburgh or Edimburgo
Lisbon or Lisboa
Varsovia or Warsaw
Praga or Prague
Sevilla or Seville
New York or Nueva York
Geneva or Ginebra
and
Barcelona or Girona
Stockholm or Arlanda
London or Londres
Brussels or Bruselas
Edinburgh or Edimburgo

Did you mean Gerona and Girona, as in Spanish and Catalan ........or am I being too pedantic .... I am only joking
I do think it's odd, though, that other countries have their own names for cities like London as in Londres. Surely London should be London, if you know what I mean. Re Andalucia, I have always spelt it that way but I think the one with S may be the English version.
