Damned Romans and their language...
LOL! Yes, but think of Castilian as a Romance language of people little "romanicised/latinicised".

Just joking, but there's still quite a lote of Celtic vocabulary in the Iberian languages (including Basque), especially in toponims.
Specially in the pronounciation in the Castilian language (a.k.a. Spanish), assumedly through the Cantabrians.
