why? Because most Brits settled in Galicia etc. for the lovely weather. It’s like they moved completely there — there are British colonies!
Gee whiz, some of my ancestors Moved To Galicia about 2700 years ago, then a bunch from there went to Scota and Britain 300 or so years later, then a bunch moved from there to Brittany about 900 years later, then back to Spain about 300 years after that, then to America 800 years later, and never looked back ~ but you’re right about the climate around the Bay of Biscay ~ it’s a tad nicer than Scotland or someplace like that Fur Shur.
1. I can understand moving to warmer climes.
2. My opinion is that the Brits do well living overseas. They have had a lot of history doing that...and they stick together
