The Romans occupied southern and eastern Spain for seven centuries. They took southern Spain over from the Carthaginians in 206 BC when Scipio Africanus defeated them there. It became the Roman province of Hispania Ulterior (Further Spain). They also turned the east coast into the province of Hispania Citerior (Nearer Spain). The rest of Spain was conquered much later.

Lusitania (Portugal and western Spain) was conquered in 139 BC. North-western Spain was conquered in the Cantabrian Wars (29-19 BC) during the reign of Augustus.

The Vandals, Alans and Sueves settled in Hispania (Spain and Portugal) as allies of the Romans in the 409 AD. However, the Romans lost control of the area and these peoples formed their own kingdoms. In 415 the emperor Honorius commissioned the king of the Visigoths to restore order in Hispania and gave him the right to settle there and govern the area in exchange for defending it. In 429 the Vandals and Alans fled to Africa. The Visigoths established their own kingdom and became effectively independent when Honorius was deposed in 476.

Did Spain have a liberator?

Spain was occupied by the Moors in 711 AD. Over the next 781 years many monarchs fought the Moors and forced them to retreat to the south. The last Moorish ruler was defeated in 1492 by Isabel and Ferdinand. I don't believe any one person deserves the title of "Liberator". It was a cumulative effort over 7 centuries.
