Most Spaniards are of Visigoths, Celtic and most of all ancient Iberian ascendancy, not Jews or Moor like you guys obsessively want to put it out..
I have added many pure Spaniards on 23andme none show Jewish nor Mideast, just a few mixed ones like me show it because many North African, Arabs/ Jews mixed or fled to the new world along with the colonists.
