Best Answer

Yes. The expulsion of the Moors is called the Reconquista (reconquest).

Spain was mostly occupied by the Muslims beginning in 711 AD, when most of the people there were the Visigoth tribes. Beginning with the Asturians in 722, the Spaniards reclaimed much of their territory by the time of the First Crusade (1096), although some areas around Granada were in Muslim hands until 1492.
