The word "Torrevieja"

[Steve]

Two expats had only been in Torrevieja for a year and were having a bit of a discussion about how Torrevieja is pronounced. Torre -vieja, TorrY-vieja, Torre-vieKa or TorrY-vieKa.

They go into a restauarant and decide to sort this once and for all,
"Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are... very slowly?"

The blonde waitress leaned over, flashed her clevage and said in a great Essex accent, "Burrr-gurrr Kinngg..."

Excellent!!

However its Torre B ecka - the V is pronounced as a sort of soft B in Spanish

[harry]

think I'm right in saying also that the "ecka" bit is pronouced as though you're clearing your throat!

I think you're getting confused with Welsh Harry.

not sure about Welsh Scorpio but I think it's the "J" that does it in spanish!
