I am watching the Tour de France and I've noticed the announcer, Phil Liggett, pronouncing Alejandro as "ale THAN dro." Is this some Spain spanish that I'm not aware of, saying "ja" as "th"?
Thank you.

if anything it would be:
ah leh han throh
in that "han" make the H very hard or whatever it is that could call it.
and in the throh make that th to sound like in "the" and not like in "thin"

Probably just sounded weird with a strong English accent.
