No. Amazigh (Berbers) in Spain are Amazigh in Spain. Historically, when Muslims ruled the majority or a minority of Spain, there were four different ethnic groups of Muslims in Spain: Amazigh, Arabs, MuladÃÂs (ethnic Spaniard Muslims), and Saqaliba (former Slavic Slaves who gained their freedom and converted to Islam). Each of these Muslim groups is called by their ethnic identity or as Muslims asa unity.
A lot of times, people refer to the Amazigh as Moors, but this term is considered pejorative by the Amazigh.
