To add to what Dementor has said: No way Franco is letting go of Ferrol, which is both the only spanish naval base in the Atlantic and his birth city.
Cultural similarities between Galicia and Portugal are greatly overstated anyway. Sure, the language is similar -but south of Porto most people...
I am very curious as to what idea of contemporary Spain you have. You sound like you think we're still living in 1516.
In all fairness, catholicism stopped being relevant as a way of defining spanish identity in 1812. Franco's dictature was an ill-fated attempt to react against that that...
Because Hearts of Iron IV was delayed multiple times, when it was announced it was supposed to be released in late 2014.

Because they were running out of money and hoped that by capturing the port they'd be able to open a line of credit with Prussian or Russian bankers. Somehow I think both France and Britain (Britain had even sent an expeditionary force to assist the Cristinos) would take issue with that...
No, 1937.
The Carlists were never even able to capture Bilbao, the industrial centre of the Basque Country and Biscay's capital, during any of the Carlist wars.
