Proper pronounciation of Reale?

[romeo-1]

It is pronouced "reel", "ree al" or "ree al ee"? I have heard it pronouced all three ways but I would like to get it right. After all, I plan on finding a lot more in the near future!

The singular form is actually real, not reale ; the plural is reales.

"During the time of their use, these coins were called reales (singular: real , pronounced ray-AL in Spanish, plural ray-AL-es)." — http://www.nps.gov/pais/historyculture/reales.htm

I unhesitatingly defer to the eminently knowledgeable and venerable Don Jose, who was there when they were minting them!
