A friend of mine is from Galway. He's a bit more tanned than other Irish people as a lot of natives from Galway/Connemara are (one reason could be that they may be related to the crew on the Spanish Armada and all that), he always gets his passport scrutinised by border officials while everyone else is waved through.

The crews from the Spanish Armada were swiftly executed.
There is a cemetery by the docks where you can view a memorial to 300 sailors who were beheaded.

But I agree with you, there are many, many people in Galway with Spanish blood. From traders and merchants though

...nobody checked our passports in Milan at all.

Last time I flew Milano, they checked me out and ignored my passport and luggage...
