My family are from the south-west, Somerset, Dorset and Devon (my great-grandparents were mostly from the same area we're in now), so I doubt that I'm a mish-mash of anything much that wasn't there 1000 years ago. Yay for the inbreds!

Being from Spain does't make you latino.
Latino is spanish speaking countries in the western hemisphere.

What's the difference then? Does it involve tarot cards, fiddles and carts pulled by donkeys by any chance?
