Modern Spanish, yes. Old Spanish was filled with
pronouns attached to finite forms. There's one in
here from el Mio Cid:

"De los sos ojos     tan fuertemientre llorando,
tornava la cabeça    i estávalos catando.
Vio puertas abiertas   e uços sin cañados,
alcándaras vázias    sin pielles e sin mantos
(5) e sin falcones    e sin adtores mudados.
Sospiró mio Çid,     ca mucho avie  grandes
cuidados.
Fabló mio Çid      bien e tan mesurado:
"grado a tí, señor padre,     que estás en alto!
"Esto me an buelto    mis enemigos malos."

Padraic.
