Question

Why can you notice that someone is spanish only seeing his face?

Answer 1

I'm blond and with blue eyes, I'm Spanish but live in England, and before I even say a word, some people already know I'm Spanish, Bizarre!

Answer 2

hehe, when my sister went to Spain, without her saying a word,one person said that she'd brought the weather with her cos they knew she was English just by looking.

Darkish complexion and deep brown eyes probably do it :)

Answer 3

I do not think that is true, because I live in a multicultural city and sometimes I get confused.

Answer 4

Yup we come on all colors!

Answer 5

Natural instinct...you are smart :)

Answer 6

Mexicans have a very distinctive look.  They are direct decendants of American Indians.

Oh sorry, I see now  that you were talking about real Spaniards.

Answer 7

Not all people of a Spanish background have the stereotyped Spanish look.

Answer 8

actually you cant.

a lot of people think i'm spanish and i have nothing to do with spain

Answer 9

I guess the only people who can really tell is the spanish themselves and Mestizos from latin america.

The only possible connection i see (in the mirror i guess) is the moor heritage. most spaniards would look fairly similar (a bit whiter maybe) to north african types like the moroccans. I get people talking to me in arab often (i'm a colombian 'mestizo' but not really one at it- direct spanish descent- more like a 'criollo').

Answer 10

Sometimes you can do it. But more than the face is the attitude and behavior.
