Probably not. Columbus wasn't Spanish; he was born in or near Genoa, in what is now Italy. He had first proposed his voyage to the Indies to Genoese authorities, but they declined to sponsor him.
However, there's a good probability that many of Columbus' Spanish crew members were Jews who were fleeing the Spanish persecutions during the expulsion from Spain.
