The modern, unified Spanish Empire rose after the Reconquista, or taking back the Iberian peninsula from Moorish Muslim peoples from North Africa. This happened in 1492.
Modern Mexico began to exist after it successfully waged a war of independence from Spain, ending in 1821.
Hence, Spain is older than Mexico.
