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.
