Argentina VS Spain

[garryl]

The food in Argentina is not like Spain. Very little fish here.

The food is quite similar, tourists consume all the mariscos, many Spaniards eat a lot of white bread and jamon. That little white bread you see on the tables of Argentine restaurants(that's a pretty bad food), they have it all over Spain, except that it is fresher.

so each part of Spain Empire American colony was called Virreinato, and Argentina is called Virreinato del Río de la Plata ?
Just like each province on Spanish peninsula . That's why the legal system is the same. After Agentina gained independence, Argentina is still very close to Spain in many ways.

From the founding of the Virreinato de la Plata in the XVI century to the Argentina Independence in 1815 ? the founders of Argentinian cities and Urban Designers where Spanish architects and Urban specialists . The Colonies inherited the Language , Law, Administration system, Religion , etc. All cities like Cordoba where sister cities of the Spanish ones..!
No one is surprised that the USA once a British Colony inherited the Law, Religion?, Language, and Urban design, in New England ? (New York).

The most important legacy of Spain to the Colonies are the Genes , creating a new race Mestizos. The British Colonists Didn't spread their genes with local women. Namely in Australia, India, South Africa or the USA.

I had the opportunity to live in Madrid many years ago and Drove many times to Malaga and Marbella , before the major highways were completed?
One had to traverse many small towns where ladies in black with scarfs sat in front of their whitewashed homes..! Andalucia mostly built by the Arabs for Eight Centuries, certainly has a typical Moorish architecture, different from the older villages dating from the visigoth cities.

The British (men) like any colonists DID spread their genes. Theres a reason why West Indians don't look entirely like their African ancestors. Australian Aboriginals and Moaris with lighter skin are as common as darker skinned. In India the anglo mixing is not so noticable probably because of the sheer number of Indians to dilute the whiteness.

Maybe to some extent but not so noticeable. Light Skinned Maoris very common..!
However Spaniards went overboard and populated and entire continent .... !

True that the current US inherited language, the legal system and archirectural styles (the old cities along the Eastern Seaboard - Boston, Philadelphia, Alexandria (Virginia) Charleston etc. are full of Georgian style buildings. The Anglican religion (renamed the Episcopal Church after the Revolution) was widespread. New England Puritans also left their mark. The US is an overwlelmingly Protestant country. New York is not part ofNew England, by the way. New England begins with Connecticut and extends north to the border of Canada.

Personally I don't see it. The Spanish eat a lot of guisos. There is a lot of fish in Spain. Fish is not very popular with most Argentines. Maybe some bread is similar and I agree it's feesher in Spain. I find more culinary similarities to Italy though it's not as good as in Italy.

. New York formerly New Amsterdam, a Dutch Colony, was mentioned above to reflect the Colonial policy of funding twin cities with cities in England. Like York , Jersey, Hampshire, Heaven, etc. Not as being a part of New England.

I see but what do you mean by 'funding'? British colonists often named settlements after where they had come from, hence Bryn Mawr, Bryn Athyn New Britain, North Wales etc in Pennsylvania. There are countless examples.

I am not @Rich One but to me, "funding" looks like an autocorrect version of "founding."

"No one is surprised that the USA once a British Colony inherited the Law, Religion?, Language, and Urban design, in New England ? (New York)."

With all the Italian descendants and French style buildings, it's a little surprising that AR is more Spanish than anything else.
