Pablo Ibáñez
Pablo Ibáñez Tébar (born 3 August 1981), sometimes known as just Pablo, is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a centre back. Pablo was born in Madrigueras. He began his football career in the youth teams of his local professional club, Albacete, with whom he earned promotion from the Segunda División to La Liga in 2003.

He spent a season with Premier League club West Bromwich Albion and two with Football League Championship (second-tier ...

Spanish Nationality Law
Spanish nationality law refers to all the laws of Spain concerning nationality. Article 11 of the First Title of the Spanish Constitution refers to Spanish nationality and establishes that a separate law is to regulate how it is acquired and lost. This separate law is the Spanish Civil Code. Spanish nationality is generally acquired on the principle of '' jus sanguinis'' (descent), with limited additional provision for its acquisition per '' jus soli'' (place of birth). History Traditionally, considerations about the Spanish nationality had been (successively) regulated by constitutional articles: the 5th article of the 1812 Cádiz Constitution, 1st article of the 1837 Constitution, 1st Article of the 1845 Constitution, 2nd article of the unpromulgated 1856 Constitution, 1st article of the 1869 Constitution and 1st article of the 1876 Constitution. Lacking an overarching unifying legal body, the current regulation about nationality in Spain is contained in 17–28th artic ...
