In all seriousness the Spanish continent assignments are even funnier than the English one

North and South America, two gigantic landmasses that are entirely separate save for a 35 mile Panamanian land border that takes 15 minutes to walk across

"the same continent"

Asia and Europe, joined at several points, separated only by the meager Ural hills which even Genghis Khan could ride his horses across, solidly attached for 1500 miles along the Ural border and 400 miles across the flat plain of Western Kazakhstan

"yes, somehow different continents"

At least the english only did one of these
If you're seriously asking for "America" (north and south) as its own continent, that means that "Afroeurasia" is also its own continent. The Sinai/Suez chokepoint is actually more than twice as large as the Panamanian one.
