"Annoyance" is a minor term for what many Basques feel if you call them French or Spanish.
Inside Spain being "Spanish" doesn't really mean a whole lot.

Pretty much. As a Basque-American I can tell you Spain would not want to lose out on having Bilbao.
So how many groups are there on the Iberian Peninsula? I thought it was the Spaniards, Portuguese, Catalans, and Basque.
Wha?
There are two countries in the Iberian Peninsula; Spain and Portugal.
Spain is divided in quite a few autonomous communities, and two of those autonomous communities (Catalonia and the Basque Country) have a very active independentist mindset.

Portugal and Spain. Spain is divided in political feuds that falsely purport to be sustained by ethnicity and history. There are 17 self-governments, 2 languages, 4 or 5 phony languages, etc. A big improvement from the 42 independent "cantones" in 1873.
Just politics and money, as if you create a brand new "historical nation" you will receive millions that can place in tax havens.
In the year 1031 Spain was really divided, but it was for real.
I wonder what Basques, Galicians and Catalans will have to say about that!
Spain is a different case than Portugal, the Portuguese(ethnic Portuguese) are one people and have been so for a very long time, the regional differences are minor.

Is there any region or city which the Portuguese forget about?
I think many Spaniards forget Ceuta, Melilla and the Canary Islands are part of the country, and political conversation always centers on the Peninsula.

Yeah the vast majority of Portugal's border with Spain especially the towns that border Spain's Extremadura and Castilla Y Leon regions. The conversation in Portugal centers around two cities Lisbon and Porto.
