I also had the chance of getting a Spanish Passport, but it just would not feel right... I go back many generations, and a lot of history, I just feel that i would not be wanting to change my whole family history, almost denouncing your own birth ......just my opinion..... interest to why you decided to get a UK passport, if its for ease of travel then fine. but anything else i can not imagine
Remember that you can be a dual citizen so it's hardly denouncing your own birth. The ease of travelling is obviously an advantage, though it also means that you can always return to the uk even if you spend years out of the uk.
