Hitler had helped Franco in the Spanish Civil War, though not out of pure charity. He needed to test the men and the equipment of his new Luftwaffe which had never seen action.
When World War 2 started, Hitler expected Franco to support him in return, especially in letting German troops enter Spain in order to capture Gibraltar.
Franco refused to allow this, because he wanted to stay out of the war, and was also unsure of the unity of his own armed forces. To appease Hitler and stave-off a German invasion, Franco reluctantly sent a single division to serve on the Russian front. But he soon saw that the tide was turning against the Axis, and that the Allies would be his future trading partners.
