The Mayoress (once again, the photos of other councillors are unavailable). Bizarrely, unlike British local and regional council websites, Spanish ones don't necessarily always have photos of the councillors.

Now can you answer my question seriously?

[Tooting Carmen]

Do they look Italians/Levantine/North Africans, friends? :naughty2:

Italians, to an extent. The other two, not really though some individuals can.

[Cristiano viejo]

:picard1:

do you think seriously that these people look like the Calabrians of the Sikeliot thread?
No comment about the other MENA´s.

No, they don't. But there are lots of people from less Southerly regions of Italy who are more similar.

[Sikeliot]

No, they don't. But there are lots of people from less Southerly regions of Italy who are more similar.

Lazio, Abruzzo and Tuscany maybe. They do not look "eastern" enough to be Sicilians or Calabrese.

[Cristiano viejo]

No, they don't. But there are lots of people from less Southerly regions of Italy who are more similar.
Campania, Calabria, Sicilia or Puglia look nothing like them. Ie half Italy, Southern Italy.

[Cristiano viejo]

Opinions, friends, do they look like Italians/Levantines/North Africans? Yes or not.

[Anthropologique]

I could never take any of these people for S. Italian. None look Levantine, for sure. There are also at least two who (obviously) are not native.

[Anthropologique]

Opinions, friends, do they look like Italians/Levantines/North Africans? Yes or not.

Maybe the two blacks (obviously non-native). :laugh:

I don't think so, they look saudi arabian and some might even pass as white

"The name Albacete is derived from the Andalusian name for the area, the city having been originally called البسيط (Al-Basīṭ) in Arabic, which translates to "the plain" in reference to the plateau that characterizes the geography of the area."

That is just one of the hypothesis. Funny that you convenienly forgot the other:

The second hypothesis states that its origin may be the Alaba of the Celtiberians, mentioned by Pliny the Elder and by Ptolemy, which could result in Alba civitas ("White city"), which later became Albacete.

sure soon you'll claim medina or gibraltar are not arabic. Arabs can also arabized roman toponyms there is no problem so first or second hypothesis doesn't matter :thumb001:

And soon you will claim any Spanish toponym is Arabic. You are butthurt because even the Arabic names were Hispanized and dont remain their original Arabic names :laugh:

My Grandad's old town, quite a wide range of phenotypes, Berids, Gracile Meds, Cappadocian types, also quite a few Alpines and CM types, some look quite British.

Now you also have origins from there? :lol:

You are not more funny because it is impossible :lol:

A lot of people in Alicante (I think that is where he said his Spanish side is from) have a grandparent or some roots from Albacete though, its common.

I know this perfectly, I (unlike this mongrel Oliverio who claims be half Spanish) do have relatives exactly like that.

[El_Jibaro]

So why did you say it is impossible? It is not impossible, its common :rolleyes:

[Cristiano viejo]

No, it is not common. Being possible does not mean it is common. Chinese motherfuckers settled in villages so small like Miranda do Douro in Northern Portugal. Obviously if they did it is because is possible. But is it common? of course it is not.

You have lost the head if think anti-Spanish mongrels like this Oliverio could be half Spanish.

I don't know. I have a friend who lives in Alicante and she has told me a huge chunk of the people either have grandparents from Albacete or Murcia. I dunno who this Oliverio is, maybe he has said other things which make you doubt his background, but it wouldn't be something crazy for him to have some roots in Albacete because it seems to be relatively common. Like how in Catalunya you have the huge amount of people who are descended from Xarnegos...

I have lived near ten years in Albacete and I have relatives there and all over the province, and relatives from Albacete and their descendants living in the Comunidad Valenciana, Alicante included. I have MILLIONS of friends in Albacete whom still keep. I know quite well all that and the amount of people from Albacete in Alicante or the rest of Valencia is a minuscule and absolutely residual percentage comparing it with the amount of people from there that obviously have not emmigrated.
