It's a beautiful city, I don't mind admitting you guys have a better capital than us.
If I ever come back I should definitely visit the Somerset House because it's where the Treaty of London (1604) was signed. I've read a lot about both the Spanish Armada (1588) and the English Armada (1589) because Philip fascinates me as movie villain. I've got mixed feels about Elizabeth: the Golden Age because it's a bit biased like Parker's Imprudent King, but you should definitely read Peter Kemp's The Campaign of the Spanish Armada for a more technical dispassionate analysis of the whole thing. Maria Pita was Galician like me, I admit I went to Lisbon to specifically visit São Jorge castle because it had a lot to do with this conflict like the Açores. Drake attacked Cádiz twice. He was successful the first time, but the second time he had bad luck. Unfortunately for him he didn't have an honorable death like Nelson in Trafalgar. Britain is a nation that at least treat its own heroes fairly. I just wish Blas de Lezo had a better monument like the one in Trafalgar Square because he deserves better. Antonio Gutiérrez de Otero and Home Riggs Popham are very underrated sailors, the second one even revolutionized naval telegraphic communication because he was an inventor as well. I could keep talking about these things for entire hours like an Aspie because I absolutely adore naval stuff, maybe I should write books about naval history like my dad someday. 
I personally think Horatio Nelson seemed more skilled than Fracis Drake. Your history legitimately interests me a lot, but all I'll say is that instead of feeling butthurt about this movie like some of my countrymen I absolutely love how cool, badass, powerful and evil Philip looks in this movie. Still better than most faggot-friendly crap the mentally sick degenerate of Almodóvar produces these days.
However I don't think England was our only opponent then. Those pesky Turks were a pain. 
PS: Well played, bros. No harsh feelings.
