Spaniards with strange surnames are richer according to a new university study.
A study carried out by the Carlos III university in Madrid, ‘Surnames and Social Status in Spain’, published today, has shown that professions considered to be of greater prestige have professionals with less common surnames.
The researchers attribute the findings to what has been a relatively low social mobility level in Spain, and say that people with common surnames find it more difficult to reach upper social circles.

But Spaniards ALL sound so aristocratic- with those double- barreled names.
