They did neither unify nor protect Spain.
The Umayyads did control the majority of Spain, all of the way up to Barcelona at the furthest extent. They achieved this through strength of arms (conquest). The leading general was Tariq ibn Ziyad, for whom Gibraltar is named. Under Umayyad control, about 80% of Spain was under Muslim control and the same armies that conquered the territory proceeded to defend its borders. However, they slowly lost territory so that by the time of the last Umayyad Caliph, only 50% of Spain was still in Muslim hands. Therefore, many former Umayyad regions were no longer "unified" or "protected".

Did the Umayyads rule from Medina?
No. The Umayyads ruled initially from Damascus (660s-750s) until they were overthrown by the Abbassids. Abd er-Rahman re-established the Umayyad Caliphate in Al-Andalus (Islamic Spain) in the city of Córdoba. The Umayyads ruled from this city until the dynasty ended (750s-1030s). However, the Umayyads never ruled from Medina.
