A Spanish Colombian is a Colombian of full Spanish descent. Since many of Colombians are of full or partial Spanish descent and their culture is influenced by Spain (Due to the history of Colombia as a Spanish colony) as well as the Colombian government using

White Colombian
instead of Spanish Colombian, the term is rarely used.

History

The Spanish arrived in Colombia in 1499 to conquer the land. They built several settlements in territories of the

palenqueros
that newspapers were subject to displacement. In 1499 the Spanish explorer
Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada entered a vast area in the central region of Cundinamarca and Boyacá, conquering the powerful Chibcha culture, founding the city of Santa Fe de Bogota, Tunja ordering founding Gonzalo Suarez Rendon and naming the New Kingdom of Granada
region.

To establish a civil government in New Granada created a Real Audiencia in Santa Fe de Bogota in 1548-1549. The Royal Court was a body that combined executive and judicial authority until the establishment of a presidency or governorship in 1564 assuming executive powers. Until 1550 the territory of Colombia was formed by the governors of

Audiencia of Santo Domingo, and Popayan that was subject to the viceroyalty of Peru
. The jurisdiction of the Real Audiencia de Santa Fe de Bogotá include these governorates since 1550 and was extended in time over the surrounding provinces that were forming around the country corresponding to the New Granada.

In 1717

Santa Fe de Bogotá
would become the capital of the Viceroyalty of New Granada, although suspended in 1724 due to financial problems, was reinstated in 1740 and continued until the loss of Spanish power over the territories in the 1810s.

The

paisas have been considered an isolated population, and therefore different. They are mostly of Spanish descent, because Spanish men who settled in the region during the 16th and 17th centuries were accompanied by their wives. The mountains isolated the population until the late 19th century, when Antioquia entered the industrial revolution.[2]

During the Spanish Civil War, thousands of Spaniards fled from Spain to Colombia. Over the course of General Francisco Franco's dictatorship many thousands more fled in fear of the regime. The Spanish republicans fled Franco's regime as well, seeking to escape retribution from the new government.
