Hi Sandra,

Thank you so much for your resource links!

I am not actually looking for resources for people in Spain, just for
associates of mine who speak Spanish (and English as a second language,
which is how we normally chat with each other) and we've been discussing
accessibility and how to get started with the basics. I realized that I
have been sharing with them all my bookmarked fave websites and resources
but they are in English, which must be something of a struggle when reading
some of the more technical articles and terms. So I am trying to find
Spanish equivalents of those sites, so people don't have to struggle.

Actually, I did discover the W3 accessibility site does have a
Spanish collection of their articles, which is great!
https://www.w3.org/WAI/translations/#espaol-spanish

Also since my associates are actually in Panama, it can't hurt to mention
in case anyone happens to know of any Panama-specific resources :)

Thanks again!
