Coincidence? Cant think of any particular historical link beetween Greece and Spain. Well, beyond Byzantium brief presence at the Spanish Mediterranean coast 1500 years ago or so.

Sounding like you're choking on phlegm when speaking the language.
Didn't watch the vid (only first 2 min), but the accents maybe sound similar, but not the languages. Don't think I ever had issues discerning Greek from Spanish.
Portugese and Russian on the other hand...
And offshoots of the House of Aragon conquering parts of the former Empire prior to its ultimate destruction, the Almogavers of Rogerio de Flor/Roger de Fleur/Rudiger von Blum running amok there, extended trade throughout the Mediterranean, Greece being the refuge of Iberian Jews idiotically expelled by the Habsburg monarchs in Spain (they still speak Ladino, those who survived the Axis occupation in the 1940s, that is), and an almost unhealthy shared fascination with olive oil.
No it doesn't if you actually speak the language.
It was a good video and it was convincing.

First one is anecdotal, second one can also be applied to other other countries with very different phonetics and third one is yummy.
TIL (thanks to the Global Warming thread) that most sugar is not vegan. In checking this, I also found out quite how patronising PETA is.
TIL: this is a very good TEDx talk on city design.

Dock is just an alternate name for pier (in this schema). Port is more the body of water into which any of these projects. Or the combination of that body of water and that body of water having one of these as a place to moor ships.
