Does anyone know if Spain has a phonetic alphabet, not the sounds of the letters, but words that represent the letters, as in the English,
A = Alpha, B = Brovo, C = Charlie etc.
I always found it difficult when I had to spell my address over the phone in Britain, but with a strange foreign accent, it’s even worse

There are a number of variations in every country's phonetic alphabet including Spain. Quite a comprehensive list can be found here:

The various Spanish police services all use the NATO version for their radio communications

The names of the letters in the phonetic alphabet are chosen very carefully to make it international. The words chosen sounds the same (more or less) in most languages.
