This research bundle on Iberian paganism aims to shed light on the spiritual practices, deities, rituals, and cultural nuances that shaped the lives of the inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula. Historical Context
The last time the Iberian peninsula was pagan, it was part of the Roman Empire. We have evidence of Gallo-Roman practices from what is now called France but less from Iberia. Same goes for the Pre-Roman and Pre-Carthagenian practices. They kind of got lost. Our ancestral peninsula is kind of invasions all the way down. 🤣

No. This is a quote from the live science article: "Analyses revealed that current populations of the Iberian Peninsula, which includes Spain, Portugal and Andorra, are not genetically linked with these ancient hunter-gatherers. Instead, these cavemen were closer genetically to the current populations of northern Europe."

Miguel Pablo Sancho Gómez. The purpose of the present study is to describe the struggle against paganism and pagan survival in Spain up to the fall of the Visigothic kingdom in 712. By paganism is here meant not only the worship of the pagan gods, but also the practices associated with pagan worship, such as astrology and magic.

Hribor. • 10 yr. ago. About the bonus question, you can find traces of the pre-christian religions in the folklor and miths of northern Spain, specially in Asturias and Cantabria. It's easy to find plenty of tales and miths which have a celtic and pagan roman origin together to miths from pagan germanic (visigoth) origin.
However, even Christian cultural practice belies a lingering paganism in the Peninsula well after we assume the total defeat of organized pagan religion under Christianity: you just have to know where to look. Eleventh-century Romanesque art, much of it in churches, bears ample evidence of pagan traditions.
