Akordish: Good to see you back posting...and I think I know what you mean by "classic Spanish look".

The situation with the Miss USA pageant is that (and here comes the potentially inflammatory observation) it looks less homogenous on purpose. Back in the 50s, 60s and 70s, the Miss USA pageant was a "white" only pageant. In the 80s and up to today, diversity is key, and I almost suspect that it's 'unofficially encouraged'.

When the first black woman (Vanessa Williams) won the title, there was a scandal (prior nude pictures in Penthouse), and the next year they went and picked Sharlene Wells, who was about as safe a pick to avoid scandal as possible (Miss Utah, Mormon girl...). That was a knock on a potentially great thing: A Black Miss USA...but it looks like the pageant has gotten over it...as the contestants seem to represent a larger slice of what the American pie really looks like.

As for "Miss Spain", I'd stack her up against Miss Anywhere as far as beauty goes...except maybe against those robo-babe clones they keep churning out in Venezuela...¡ay yai yai! eek

linguistar,

My goodness you'll be fine. I'm sure I look just as much Spanish as you do wink and I was fine wondering around Spain alone. I've been treated with nothing but courtesy by the Spanish.
You'll love it and I'm glad you speak the lingo, that's most important and it will impress!!

Happy travels.
