The difference is in the accents and "slang" words. Even inside of Spain you will find different dialects and accents ( Catalan, Gallego, Euskera etc.) But the dominant dialect is "Castellano" and it's this dialect the world calls " Spanish".
The majority of the Spanish settlers who went Latin America came from southern Spain, Andalucia. That's why in most Latin American countires we say you "Usted" instead of "Vos". But you will find "Vos" in Argentina, Uruguay , Ecuador and Central America.
Slang words vary in each country for example to say something is cool in Mexico you would say "Chido" and in Colombia or Venezuela they say "Chevere".
So basically it's like English in America, Australia and Canada. There is some differences but at the end we can understand each other.
No , no hay grandes diferencias, es simplemente como existe el español britanico y el español norteamericano. Existen modismos y algunas palabras que varian, pero en ambos lados te entenderan el español o castellano.
