You answer is yes.

They do behave quite alike.

And there is nothing wrong with the comparisons between the two.

To add it is not easy to tell the difference between a Spaniard or a Greek and even sometimes a Mexican.

It is if you've ever been to Mexico and seen what the majority of the population looks like.

I have been to Mexico also and a lot could also easily be Spanish, Portuguese, Sicilian, Maltese, Greek and Cypriot.

Some could even be MENA and South Asian.

No they don't.
Yes they are both lively but Spanish are not as religious as Mexicans.
Spanish are not supersticious.

Rural and southern Mexicans are more religious than northern and urban Mexicans.

There's a segment of the Mexican population that looks very Spanish, because they are actually mostly of Spanish or sometimes other European ancestries. Mestizo Mexicans or natives, don't really look like Sicilians or Greeks or South Asians at all to me. And I grew up around a tad more Mexicans in California than I imagine you did in England.

Usually I can't tell Spaniards and Greeks apart. They are both Southern Europeans. Same applies to Portuguese, Italians, and Southern French. All look pretty similar. Greeks looking the most swarthy or exotic is just plain BS. Many can fit unnoticed in Spain and Portugal.

As for Mexicans, only the ones of Southern European ancestry can overlap with Spaniards or Greeks. Mixed Latin Americans don't look Greek or Spanish at all.
