Gut�iedo

 

If you ever go to Gutesta�, don't expect to find blond blue-eyed Valkiries. True, there are a few fair-haired and clear-skinned girls there, but not more than in, say, France. The original Goths have been mixed with peoples from nearly everywhere : Finno-Ugric aborigines, Greek left over from the Alexandrian Empire, Iranians of the steppe, Byzantines, Tatars, Turks, Russians, Valachs, Italian traders. They have been converted to christianity - even if to an heretic version - and have been heavily influenced by the Greek culture - the late orthodox version. The end result is that they have as much similarities with Germans or Danes than Romanians with Spaniards.
