The true faces of the Spaniards
There are two crazy obsessions with Spaniards: one is to desperately endarken them as much as possible, and another one is to desperately enlighten them as much as possible. Of course neither of them is correct, as MOST Spaniards are neither Black or Nordic. Sure, there are SOME blond blue-eyed Spaniards, as well as SOME gypsies and mixed race folks born and raised in Spain, but neither extreme of the spectrum equals the reality of the vast majority of the Spanish folk. Cherry-picking brown-skinned gypsies and hybrids that appear when one types "Spaniards" on Google Images is a big mistake, since most of these results come from websites containing questions like "Are Spaniards White?" So, the best way of knowing the true looks of the average Spaniards is by visiting Spain, but if you currently can't do it, at least google "Españoles", because the best way of googling the looks of a folk is by typing their native name, in their native language: Españoles, NOT Spaniards. Nonetheless, here are some pictures of Spaniards:
La Dama de Elche, ancient Iberian bust which dates from around the 5th or 4th century B.C. Museo Arqueológico Nacional de España, Madrid.
Primer desembarco de Cristóbal Colón en América. (Exposición Nacional de 1862, Medalla de Primera clase).
Folks from Granada, Spain.
At last, but not least, different images of Spaniards in only one picture:
