You also have the culturally distinct Celtic Galicians of North-Western Spain, although (might be wrong on this) I don't think they're quite so eager for independence.
So long story short, Spain is really not homgeneous at all, and probably the most fractious country in Western Europe today.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
