I can't tell from your comment whether you're saying that there were no power metal bands in the Basque Country, or more broadly in Spain... If it's the latter: there was absolutely a power metal scene in Spain. Avalanch, Warcry, Dark Moor (in the article) were power metal all the way and extremely prominent in the broader metal scene - they were some of the biggest metal bands of the early 2000s. Saratoga and Tierra Santa were not strictly power metal, but very closely adjacent (especially the latter, both lyrically and musically). There were plenty of smaller bands trying to make it in the space, too.
