The Accent and Dialect You'll Hear in Granada:
The accent in Seville is not as easy to understand as that of Madrid, but it is clearer than the Sevillano accent. Much like in Seville, the inhabitants of Granada tend to drop the 's' in the middle or end of words. So "two o'clock", which would be 'a las dos' in the rest of Spain, becomes "a la' do'". They also speak very quickly. This makes it quite hard to follow even quite simple conversations in the street.
