Having seen how much more sociable the Spanish are compared to the English I'm inclined to agree there is a significant cultural component here. This could be just genetic, but I believe it isn't. A very quick search suggests this is something that academia is considering and has not answered definitively.

I can atest that there are many Spanish introverts. In a very open society you must make an extra effort to fit, but that doesn't change such a traits. My father used to push me very hard to go out and meet people. Annoying at the time, but I'm happy he did.
Almost certainly purely cultural - look at the huge difference in reputations between how friendly places like Glasgow and Edinburgh are even though they are actually ~75km apart.

My experience has been that people sort themselves into different cities according to their preferences, so there could very well be a genetic component as well.
