Does anybody have any images to demonstrate Spain's diversity- Galicians, Catalans, Basques, Andalusians, etc?

Yes, an authoritative look at this subject would be wonderful! I have explained many times how my son is 1/4 Catalan. What`s odd is that his father looks distinctively Med (round head, dark olive skin). He`s of the Pablo Picasso phenotype (short torso etc.) His (my ex`s) mother is quite fair with green eyes and soft, fair hair.
(My son also has the round head and stocky-ish build, but has dark eyes like mine.)

Meds are like that. My father is olive skinned, with dark eyes, and yet, his brother and 3 sisters are all very fair, and all, except for one sister, have green/blue eyes. On my mother's side, my grandmother, her brother and one of her sisters all have one tone or another of olive skin, with dark brown to almost black hair. But her other sister is blond and blue eyed.

Ok, well maybe I didn't know what those names were referring too! Now I do. Thanks for directing us SaC.

Well said Springa. People from the Mediterranean countries of southern Europe do vary considerably in appearance because in addition to having many individuals who exhibit the various Mediterranean phenotypes (West Med, Dinaricized Med, East Med, etc.), Alpine, Dinaric, and to a lesser extent Nordic features are also well-represented in southern Europe. In my opinion, as far as southern Europeans go, Italians and Greeks differ more widely in type than Iberians do.
