According to the studies of the Spanish anthropologist Hoyos Sanchez the region of Tierra de Campos (Castilla-Léon) has the lowest incidence of blondism recorded in the whole Iberian Peninsula with less than 5% of blond & light brown hair.
While there's a common myth in the anthrofora based on some unscientific internet maps that the northern the region in Iberia the higher percentage of light types, the actual data does not indicate that - particularly in the Spanish case, where some of the regions with lowest incidence of blondism are precisely in some northern regions such as Castilla-Leon and Catalonia.
This is visible in group pictures, I gathered pictures of amateur teams (less likely to contain non-natives) from the Valladolid area (a rather northern city in the heart of Castilla Léon/Tierra de Campos) and it's noticeable that blond types are almost absent.
For comparison, I gathered pics of amateur teams from the Porto region in northern Portugal wich is more or less at the same latitude.
Why this lack of blondism phenomenon in some northern regions seems to be specific of Spain ? Discuss.
