The differences between the Spaniards and the Italians, in terms of coloring/complexion, are minimal, but the Moorish presence on the Iberian peninsula is highly visible.

Andalusia is the region of Spain with less Moorish blood. There's more moorish blood in the Northwest (Galicia, Zamora). The reason is that during the XVIIth Century, moorish were expelled from Spain, particularly from Andalusia (because of the Turkish threat). Many moorish converts fled to Northen Spain, where everybody was considered of "clean blood" and the Holy Inquisition was not that powerful.
Andalusia was resettled with Christians, and in some cases, with Europeans. But if you visited Andalusia, you probably saw many Gypsies, and a large part of the service staff is Latin American or Morrocans.
Those people that you saw that looked moorish were probably Morroccans. Morrocans are as abondant in Andalusia as Mexicans in California, most are illegal.

Is there a lot of Moorish blood in Portugal? Knew a Portuguese girl who was very dark, not sure if she had Gypsy blood either.

I can see where this kind of women can cause a headache for American men for example, who are more used to see "business partners" in their wives, but in Southern cultures that are also predisposed to machismo, this type of Russian women can be a better fit.

In southern cultures, women have not had public representation for many years for years, but in Spain many women allways have been "the boss" at home. At least many of them. For example, i remember my grandmother, she could not buy a home without the signature of my grandmother, but when he brought the money to home, he gave it to her, she was responsible for the administration of almost all, i think it was something hubitual in many families. With regard to femininity, I think many men complain that women are no longer so feminine in western countries, Also men have lost part of his "gentlemanly", is a consequence of having more equity between men and women.

I notice this in a lot of Spanish film. Powerful female figures. Italian too, even though it's very patriarchal.

Italian & Southern European women are much prettier on average then Northern European women (IMO) With the exception of Greeks, i don't find them attractive at all..
NE women look kinda bland and don't age that well.. Not to mention they're more prone to obesity..

Why do the French win all the polls on this forum?
If it's about movies, food, culture, cities, women etc., etc....
Stop overrating them!

Save the UK, the opposite is true.
Italian women seem either very feminine or very masculine.

Most people in the Iberian peninsula have had a similar aspect during the last 8.000 years. Exactly the same aspect that original inhabitants of UK. Gypsyes arrived less than 500 years ago, they keep to themselves.
Portuguese look like Spanish, Italians and most French and western European in general.

Italian women have a very strong character because they have to cope with Italians.
