Tema: The Irish – more Spanish than Celtic?

Iniciado por Alejandro O'Reilly

We should be careful in our definitions.
"Celtic" is purely a cultural distinction. Even back in classical and pre-historic times, the Celts were likely not one homogenous tribe but rather various peoples linked by a common culture, common language, common society and religious practices. In other words, they were Celtic because they belonged to a Celtic culture.
There is no Celtic morphological type just as there is no Celtic gene.

It makes perfect sense to me now. Thank you for putting it so clearly.

Hm, I have Irish ancestry in part. So does this make me an honorary Spaniard? :P

These days, to be an honorary spaniard (or an honorary portuguese for that matter) it's quite enough if you are a true catholic. For unbelievable it may seem, we're lacking them here...
