Yes, like other Peoples in Spain.
One state can hold several identities or nations in it and each one having its own Laws (Fueros) according to its special ethnical features. That was the rule in the history of Spain, until the imported French Jacobinism tried to eliminate all the ethnical differences between regions along with the Fueros by means of the centralist modern state you're describing.
