I always though I was full Puerto Rican but when my grandpa told us about our ancestry I have part Spain and Cuban in me. I’m so glad since I always wanted to visit Spain and thought I was missing something.
Puerto Ricans and Cubans are basically the same people with slightly different island cultures, they are the same blood mix for the most part, mostly Spanish, many are mixed with Taino Indians, some also have Carib Indian and some have African blood lines or both. As far as being Spanish, Latino's blood lines come from Spain that is what makes them Hispanic! Read more about the history of Spain and the people, it is an amazing rich and proud history, not only did Spain have an incredible Royal history but many great Roman emperors were actually Spanish. Hope this helps you on your journey, take care!
@@ryneagheilim9782 Latin was the language of the Roman Empire. Iberian Peninsula dwellers, started speaking Latin as they were invaded by the Romans...
@@JT-st9yj Yes, Spain invaded the Caribbean islands and Central and North America in the 1400s. Brought slaves from Africa too, so that's why most islanders are mixed with Spanish, African, and Taino. That's also why Spanish is spoken in North, Central, and Southern America. Spanish is a blend of latin and the Iberian languages throughout history - Arabian, Celtic, and Germanic (Visigoths). If you walk the Camino de Santiago you will pass through the city of Burgos, where Spanish is said to have started. There were only a few Roman Emperors who were from Hispania and two of the greatest (in my opinion) - Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius. Proud to be a Puerto Rican with Northern Spanish ancestry and excited to walk the Camino next month and visit Rome!
So proud of these northern spanish catholic defenders.I am a Filipino, catholic & researching my spanish roots. Wish I could test my DNA & go to northern Spain. My surname is a Basque origin.Basques are one of the group of people in that northern defense. Some documents point the surname for being noble, family for generations defending & holding the line against muslim attacks.Part of Spanish orders. To my grandpa's of many generations before, thank you & will continue defending catholic faith. Maybe that is the reason why, during childhood, was not afraid for fist fights with boys.
@@dianaverano7878 yes it’s interesting to learn the celts settled in northern Spain long ago and I believe wanted independence not so long ago in a movement. So they still have the fire in them. You also have the spirit of Lapu Lapu in you. Stand tall and defend Christ in this age. God bless.
@@2007bing you are right about Basques. That makes sense. Some basques became soldiers to a king.

It's a pity Galiza is part of the Spain Kingdom. Galiza should be part of the portuguese territory since times of the secular Portugal Kingdom til actual days. Galiza is so Portuguese in all aspects: in its medieval architecture (luso gothic in its castles, cathedrals, monasteries, villes etc.), faith and devotion, landscapes, atmosphere, people and language (galaico-português) 👍 Definitely, Galiza is more Portuguese than Castellian.
@Charles Troll first of all, Spanish language does not exist! Spanih language is like Castilla wants the world knows the Castelian language that is the native language of Castilla and the official language of Spain Kingdom. So learn to never forget that Galicians speak Galego (or galaico-português) that is the native language of Galiza as well as that Catalan people speak Catalan that is the native language of Catalunya, and that Spanish is only for communication with other peoples of Spain Kingdom. But Galiza does not look like Castilla as well as those do not look like Catalunya because each one has its cultural identity and own language 👍 Is it hard to understand or will I have "to draw"?
@Charles Troll They can speak Castelian and they used that language with you only because you don't speak Galician and you know it if you really lived in Galiza.

Creo que estás siendo muy duro con tu propia historia. Es verdad que casi todos los monarcas de España y de los distintos reinos que la forman han pertenecido a dinastías extranjeras, la mayoría francesas (Borbones hoy y antes de los Habsburgo casi todos los reyes Castellanos y de Aragón pertenecían a una rama de la Casa de Borgoña (Capeto)) pero muchos de los grandes logros de España se deben en sí a la vitalidad de su sociedad más que al buen gobierno de sus monarcas. En todo caso, la razón por la que España empezó a ensimismarse tanto en el siglo XVIII hasta la invasión napoleonica tiene más que ver con Francia también: Al acceder Felipe V al trono, renovó las instituciones y re impulsó al imperio pero el mismo hecho de ser francés, generó que de a poco se empezase a desplazar lo español en favor de lo francés generando una crisis sociológica donde los españoles, de ser una nación orgullosa, se veían relegados ante las costumbres del que siempre fue considerado el enemigo a muerte causando un sentimiento de inferioridad cultural y de preferencia a lo extranjero causando un pozo religioso mucho más hondo que el los Austrias donde se refugiaban cada vez más todos los desplazados generando por ende, más ignorancia. Es una situación demasiado compleja es verdad, pero España y su gente son más grandes de como los pintas...
