How did people start to speak Spanish in Spain?
Spanish is derivative of Latin. It was not like how English came to the Americas, where nobody was speaking a language similar to English and then Englishmen showed up and started speaking English. In Spain, people spoke proper Latin roughly 2000 years ago, but as the centuries plowed on, each region of the Roman Empire developed dialectical differences. In Spain, these differences led to the slow transformation from Latin to Late Latin to Proto-Castilian, to Old Castilian, to Modern Spanish. Every person would speak a very similar language to his parents, but might add a word or two or change pronunciation of a certain letter. These changes added up over time to result in a language, Spanish, which is not mutually intelligible with Latin.
Why do people speak spanish in Spain?
People in Spain speak Spanish for the same reason that people in England speak English--that's where the language evolved, and there was never any reason (conquest, fashion, or otherwise) for the Spanish people to switch to using another language.
