I love being from Spain, and winning the World Cup gives me bragging rights. All my friends were like "Brazil." I showed them. lol.
BTW GO TO SPAIN. It will be the best experience ever! I go there almost every year, and it's amazing! The food, the sport, the culture, everything is so perfect. America is nothing compared to Spain.
I do my projects on Spain too, it's the only thing I'm passionate about. And when you go there, visit Santiago de la Compostela, it's realllly nice! (It's on the map you posted, in case you can't find it.)
My sister told me that we're 7th generation Spanish and I don't know how that's even possible, or maybe I do. lol. Anywho, I think Spanish is a beautiful language and I'm proud that it's my first language. :)
My father too said that we are descendants from Spain and in fact he even told me the region and everything. I mean, all Spanish people are descendants from Spain one way or another, but then he began saying how we might be related to one of the soccer players on the Spanish team because we have the same last name (and our last name is not so common...) and we descended from the same region. Please...what a crock of bull.
Even though I don't care for the country, I do understand your feelings. I feel similar about Germany.
bipolar Haha, I know someone who is actually royalty in Spain. Her family even owns a castle there. Descendants from Spain. Haha, if I were you I'd just go along with what your dad said. ;) Being from Spain is amazing.
My dad try to feed me som bullsh*t a while back and I almost choked. He says we're defendants from Spain because the first person to ever have Hemophilia was a prince from Spain. So he thinks we're royalty too.
