Peninsulares, Creoles, mestizos, Native American
At the top of the Spanish-American society were the peninsulares or europeos.Creoles were below the peninsulares. Below that were the mestizos. Next were the native americans, and the enslaved free blacks, and slaves were at the bottom of the social ladder.
Colonial Mexican society was primarily dominated by the peninsulares, who were Spaniards born in Spain. They held the highest social, political, and economic positions, often controlling land and resources. Below them were the criollos, or Creoles, who were of Spanish descent but born in Mexico, followed by mestizos, indigenous peoples, and African slaves. This hierarchy played a significant role in shaping social dynamics and power structures during the colonial period.

They were all social classes in colonial Latin America.
The regions with a colonial class structure that included a peninsula creole and mestizos were in Latin America, particularly in countries such as Mexico, Peru, and Chile. Peninsula creoles were individuals born in the Americas but of Spanish descent, while mestizos were of mixed European and indigenous heritage. Both groups had specific social statuses and roles within the colonial hierarchy.

To my knowledge a Peninsulare is a European born white who lived in Spanish colonies in the new world. They had only European ancestry and had been born in Europe before they moved to the new world. They were at the top of the caste system in New Spain.
No, Spanish colonists born in Spain, known as peninsulares, did not occupy the mestizo level of society. The mestizos, who were individuals of mixed European and Indigenous ancestry, occupied a lower social status than the peninsulares. In the colonial caste system, peninsulares held the highest positions and privileges, while mestizos, despite sometimes gaining some level of social mobility, were still considered beneath them in the social hierarchy.
