Someone from Catalunya (that's the catalan spelling, which comes in handy on this keyboard... :-/ ) in the NE is really quite different from someone in Andalucia in the southwest of Spain and also different from the Celtic descendents in the NW area of Galicia. They even have their own languages completely distinct from Spanish (well, except for Andalucia, but they mangle the language enough that it almost sounds like Arabic!). Of course, this is also coming from the same media talking about how "white people" or "black people" might vote for Obama. *sigh* Even in Spain there is a HUGE variety.
