Sheen and Estevez on their connection to Spain

Sheen: “We’ve been to that area many times over the years to visit our Gallaecian relatives and very close to that community. My sister Carmen lives in Madrid, she’s a retired school teacher. - Martin Sheen
Estevez: “My son met a young lady named Julia, he’s 19 at the time, meets Julia, falls in love, decides to move to Spain and lived there for nine years, in fact they got married in 2009, which was the year we started shooting the film.” - Emilio Estevez

I'm from Spain and I love this❤

[@mariacruzpascacio4547]

Had no idea of the Spanish background.
Someday I would love to visit Spain.

The way Emilio pronounces "albergue"...

[@mattheweuqnicurzeid7154]

Spaniards and Portuguese didn't immigrate to the U.S. at the same rate as Greeks and Italians, especially Italians.

[@dgar1206]

They didn’t need to migrate to the states when all they needed to do was go the former colonies of the empire. Didn’t need to learn English and the US was pretty anti-catholic at the time

[@GR-le1ms]

You're right. It was much larger. Keep in mind that Spain controlled much of the US for centuries, to include the majority of central and South America.
