Spanish Janes. A new edition of Jane Eyre:
Jane Eyre
Charlotte Brontë
03/06/2011
ISBN: 978-84-670-3696-1
Espasa Calpe (Austral Ediciones Especiales)
It seems that the translation is still the 1943 one of Juan G. de Luaces which, as is documented (*), was slightly altered to fit the moral codes of the Franco regime.

And an abridged audiobook version addressed to Spanish speakers in the US. The description is peculiar, as it reveals most of the 'inconsistent' story:
Jane Eyre - An Abridged Version (Spanish Edition)
Charlotte Bronte (Author), Moshe Ukkle (Translator)
Read by Yadira Sánchez.
YOYO USA Inc (March 15, 2011)
An inconsistent love story: The three Brontë sisters, Jane, Charlotte and Emmy published almost simultaneously, in the middle of the 19th century, three novels, that are already classics of English literature. Probably the most popular has been "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte, because of its great dramatic moments and its breathtaking development. This story of the governess in love with a man who is married to a mad woman, and its development, has captivated the heart of readers who have been faithful to a work that is considered to be fundamental in English literature of this century. Yadira Sanchez makes a passionate reading of this master novel.
