Total Independance may be a step too far. I would always like The Canary Islands to be part of the EEC for financial stabilty.
Spanish politics are a complex affair. Certain areas of Spain lean towards Indepdance, the biggest being Catalunya and The Basque Country. Other regions with breakaway tendancies are Galicia, Andalucia and The Canary Islands.
I really hate it when the ex pats say "The Spanish" when they refer to locals, it shows such a lack of respect and knowledge. Would you call a Welsh person,yeah that "Brit" down the road. No, I dont think so.
You have to defend where you are from or where you live. When we go to the mainland(especially Madrid) to support CD Tenerife we get all the abuse like "African b****" etc. and other phrases. I am English but that just confuses them.
