More details to this question:
Hello! I filed an I-130 petition for my sister in August 2010. When I filed the petition, my sister was a Peruvian citizen. She has recently become a naturalized citizen of Spain. How can I notify the Visa center of this change? Will her change in citizenship speed up her priority date (I’m thinking maybe there are less people from Spain than Peru requesting immigration)?

To notify the National Visa Center of any changes of circumstance, you can send an email communication to it at https://nvc.state.gov/inquiry. The change in citizenship will not impact your waiting time as both Spain and Peru are listed under “All chargeability areas except those listed” with visa availability in the July visa bulletin “final action dates chart” confined to those who filed petitions before 2/8/07.
