#Idk about Spain but most of the Portuguese cities shown here just kept the same names.#Some of them just changed the spelling with time but are still incredibly recognizable. Others like Vila Real and Faro didn't change at all#And then there's Scalabis. Which isn't even vaguely recognizable.#Santarém is the current name. Turns out during some invasions people just started calling it Sancta Irene and from there Santarene.
