I’d say xenophobes are a reality but fortunately a minority and their xenophobia is generally low intensity. YMMV if you are poorer and/or darker, but I think in general you’ll be welcome if you are coming to stay, specially if you make an effort to learn the language. If the place you want to go has a regional language (Galician, Catalan, Basque, Asturian…) nothing gets to most locals’ hearts quicker than a foreigner learning that too (and the regional governments normally offer free courses).
