Spain was once a Germanic country with 30 Visigothic Kings and Galicia was once Suevia. Spain also suffered many Germanic Invasions, from Cymbrians to Vandals and Vikings (that were crushed in Seville and Santiago de Compostela). Later, Catholic Germans, that were part of the Spanish empire, settled large tracts of Andalusia.
Spain also received a large number of Irish and English Catholics fleeing from reformation and from the holocaust of Cromwell, so now O'Donell and many other Irish last names are very Spanish last names, not to count Britons fleeing from Anglo-Saxons still living around Mondoñedo. They were instrumental in the history of Galicia and had their or Catholic religious cult that lasted until 200 or 300 hundred years ago.
The idea of Hispania as a single state and a central capital is Germanic (Toletum).
yes but the large ancestry of spaniards is Iberian, not visigothic (just a small minority).
Nowadays the minority of spaniards who look more northern european is because they have recently mixed with germans/austrians that moved there decades ago or some summer romance with other northern europeans , not because of visigoth blood.
It's a matter of taste Angel Calzadilla. For me the ones with beautiful legs are asian girls... And probably some other people will consider black girls the ones with beautiful legs. Others though may consider those from Scandinavian countries with their higher average height the ones with more beautiful legs.
It's all a matter of taste.
Not sure about asian girls having beautiful legs but Scandinavian and black women , yes

That's basically B.S. You are talking about Spain, not Nicaragua (different countries). The first blonde and blueyed people entered Spain at the same time that the rest of Western Europe, some 3.000 to 5.000 years ago (Indoeuropeans). Such traits did not prospered much because Spain was a agricultural society and women had children based on the wealth of their family, not hunter-gatherer societies (Northern Europe) where those traits were considered magical.
The mixing took place at the same time that the rest of Western Europe, some 3.000 to 5.000 years ago, and no, no tacos in Spain and the paintings of Altamira were not painted by Amerindians.

But nowadays they are considered "magical" in countries like spain, italy, portugal, greece, etc.
That doesnt change that spain (along with other mediterraneans and countries in southern balkans) is in the dark end of the european spectrum.

If you do not know anything about Spain or Europe, S.T.F.U.
How are they not? Any average spanish/italian/portuguese/greek guy would easily take a northern european blonde girl over their average countrygirls. Southern european women are famous for being bossy, having bad character and believing they deserve so much, when most of time they have little to offer.
"Morenazas" with firm flesh are preferred here. We are not obsessed with such things as some Latin mestizos are. Northern European girls are not considered attractive here.
Attractive Latin or Slavic girls are considered far more attractive. I believe you are confusing Latin girls with Spanish girls, both are extremelly different. Women here only care about money, if you are not white and have money you'll be popular, if not, forget it.

Talk for yourself. There's roughly 47 million people living in Spain, they all think the same?
"Latin girls and Spanish girls, both are extremely different". I agree, Latin girls smoke less, have their teeth less yellow, and they are more polite than the average Spanish girl.
Ok,now a very roughly racial make-up of the population in Spain. 7-8 million are first or second generation immigrants, so they come in all colors and shapes. The "local" type of Spaniard has Moorish, Jew,Celtic, Iberic, German, and Mediterranian blood in them, and I would say 60-70 per cent of the population has a Mediterranean look. Examples could be Antonio Banderes, Penelope Cruz, Josep Guardiola, etc. Now the 30-40 per cent left represent the two other extremes of the spectrum, in one side guys with blue eyes and blond hair and in the other guys with above average dark skin and black eyes.
Problem is that most Latin girls here are Ecuatorian, Bolivian and such. I do not know about their teeth, but they are potato sacks with legs. As to immigrants, they are leaving in droves and very soon many Spanish will follow.
