I don't think that the Spanish mind being associated with Andalucía but what irks people is that Spain is a lot more than just Andalucía and someone from Galicia has quite different customs to someone from Jaén.
Here are two pictures of Spanish countryside. One is in Galicia and the other is in Jaén.

It stands to reason that life in these areas is quite different and so is the character of the people that live there.
