Yes Junter, that was very noticeable when I visited Portugal! A big lot of people were light skinned/pale complexion with Blue/Grey eyes.
Totally unexpected.
I was saying it because most of Portuguese people I know (not very much tbh) are generally slightly darker than the average Spanish person.
But yes, in the south of Portugal there are many light skinned people, much more than in the north. I don't know why but it's like this, as in Sevilla (SW of Spain) you can find much more pale, blonde, blue/green eyed people and even many redheaded people than in Galicia, which is in the NW, the Galicians have generally darker hair. Something curious I found some time ago:
In Sevilla and Córdoba you can find the towns with the biggest redhead percentage of southern Europe. Is actually funny to hear them talking, as they talk as typical Sevillans but they look Irish.
We need saxonworld here to show again the maps he posted 99999 times in this forum to prove that most British people are white as milk and 90% are redheadeds.
Welsh are generally darker than the Scots, I think.
Do you look more Mediterranean or more Germanic?
with beard I am similar to this guy, with lighter skin and lighter hair, but brown, not blonde. This guy has dark brown hair, he is practically amongst the best examples of a typical male Spanish person
so I can pass as a local anywhere in the EU, unless in the Baltic countries and probably in Scandinavia and Iceland, although I've heard that not all of the people are extremely white there too. I also have a different face shape than him, he has the typical Spanish shape, but in this aspect I resemble more to my mom, so i'm a mixture of 100% European, not nordic or germanic or mediterranean, European alone.
Northern and Southern Spaniards do not look too different to me, unlike them Southern and Northern Italians are very different people.
Yes, me too. Like I said in southern Spain you can find Irish looking people (and it's not very rare), although in the north is a bit bigger prevalence, but still not very noticeable.
Italy is another world. Many people from Sicily for example look totally like Maghrebis (northern arabs), with very olive skin and totally black hair.
Meanwhile the italians under the Alps look the same as the people from Switzerland... crazy world this one, huh?
