Actually, his grandmother, Dona Susana de la Torre y Mier, was a descendant of Mexican nobility, including the De la Torre and Mier Almendaro families... Much of these Mexican families married into other noble houses throughout America and Europe. A book, "Historia Genealógica de las Familias más Antiguas de México" (Genealogical History of the Oldest Families of Mexico), shows somewhat of a history of these families; from those with noble Aztec/Indian blood to those of European extraction, and all in between. About his Mexican ancestors racial extraction, I'm not quite sure, but it's safe to say many familes had some Amerindian ancestry.
His ancestors were indeed Mexican and not just "Spaniards born in Mexico" as a previous message stated.
