They were in part, absorbed into the Spanish population, and were referred to as Moros by the Spanish. Some were forcibly re-settled in Spanish colonies such as the Philippines- where they caused trouble- for the Spanish and later US officials. Tghere are plenty of Spanish-Speaking people of Moorish descent- as was the Navigator on one of Columbus" ships.

What happened to the Moors? After being forced out of Spain, most were driven back into West Africa, but many would later be recaptured and sold into America and the Caribbean as slaves. Some of these slaves (multilingual and erudite scholars) came on ships of Christopher Columbus who was commissioned by Queen Isabella to discover the "New World" round 1492. What is not known is that the Moors were a global people. They were also native, indigenous, autochthon, aboriginals of North, Central, South America and the Caribbean islands before the times of slavery and Christopher Columbus. After slavery they were labeled and tagged as Blackamoors, free negros, free blacks, free colored people, blacks, colored, West Indian, Afro/African American(s), second class citizens.
