Who took over Morocco during 1800-1900?
Morocco was semi-independent throughout the 1800s. France showed great interest in Morocco as soon as it began to colonize Algeria in the 1830s, but would not establish the French Protectorate of Morocco until 1912. In 1860, Spain expanded its territorial possessions in Morocco and continued to expand control in the later 1800s. However, Spain never controlled more than 10% of "recognized" Morocco.

Does Morocco border the Mediterranean Sea?
YES. The eastern part of northern Morocco, starting at its westernmost at Fnideq, just south of Spanish-controlled Ceuta, and continuing eastward to the Algerian border at Sa3idia. The major cities of al-Hoceima and Nador are on this Mediterranean coast and Tetouan, the former capital of Spanish Morocco, is close to the Mediterranean coast.
Do Spaniards invade Muslim lands?
You have to define what a Muslim land is. Moroccans claim that the Spanish cities of Ceuta and Melilla are part of the territorial integrity of Morocco. Spain responds that it has controlled both of those cities since 1497, before the creation of the Alouite Dynasty in Morocco (in the 1600s) and before even the annexation of Navarre (in 1515). As a result, they are historically Spanish lands, not Moroccan lands. (Whether Moroccan lands are Muslim lands is itself a more involved question of how you "Islamify" a piece of land, but let's avoid that for the moment.) Historically, Spain had colonies in Morocco (north Morocco, ruled from Tetouan, and south Morocco, ruled from Ifni) and controlled Western Sahara (called Rio de Oro at that time). Both of these areas have majority-Muslim populations. Spain handed over control of north Morocco and most of South Morocco in 1956 to Morocco at France's request. Spain gave up Ifni itself after the Ifni War with Morocco and international pressure in 1969. Spain gave Rio de Oro independence in 1975 after which it was promptly annexed by Morocco in the "Green March".
