The word you're looking for is, I think, "peninsulares." These were people who were born in Spain and came to the Spanish colonies. The "criollos," on the other hand, were those born in the colonies.
There were social (and, I believe, civil) distinctions between the two--the peninsulares looked down on the criollos as just not quite in their bracket--funny, when one thinks that the criollos may well have been descended from noble stock and may have had bluer blood than some peninsulares.
A fair number of wealthy criollo familes sent their sons back to Spain for their education--Simon Bolivar, for instance.

I'm pretty sure that person would be called a spaniard, but thats the layman's point of view!
If it was some kind of trick question then i dunno but i'd still go with the answer of a spaniard coz,i mean how tricky can such a straight forward question get? Unless there was more to the question and u didn't write it all perhaps?!
