Ramón y Cajal is probably the best known within Spain. There's also Severo Ochoa or Margarita Salas, who had to migrate to the US. Balmis y Berenguer. Domingo de Soto. Hugo de Omarique. Etc. As to why there seems to be an scarcity: one possibility is that the great minds flourished in the Enlightenment and posterior modern society and for some reason we have been bonking each other on the head with civil wars and other disputes for the past 300 years. And it won't get better. I don't want to get too Any Forumsy but things are looking grim.
