The Golan Heights were a part of Syria from the Ottoman Period and were part of Syria during the French Mandate. It was only in 1967 that Israel conquered the Golan Heights from Syria.

Who was given Golan Heights in 1981?

Nobody was "given" the Golan Heights in 1981. Israel conquered the Golan Heights from Syria in 1967 and repelled a Syrian invasion to retake the Golan Heights in 1973. By the end of the Arab-Israeli population of 1973, the Arab population of the Golan Heights and its strategic value was immense. Therefore, in 1981, Prime Minister Menachem Begin decided to annex the territory of the Golan Heights to the Israel. This has been seen by most international observers as a violation of UNSC Resolution 242 and 338 which requires that Israel return the Golan Heights to Syria in exchange for peace, not to acquire it. Israel has responded by saying that it fully intends to return the territory to Syria should a peace treaty be struck, but it sees no reason why it has to leave the Golan Heights under military administration pending such a resolution as opposed to a civilian one.

How does the Golan Heights dispute relate to Spain?

The Golan Heights dispute has nothing at all to do with Spain. The Golan Heights is officially Syrian territory that Syrians held until 1967 when they lost it to Israel in the Six-Day War. Syria has been campaigning ever since to get the Golan Heights back from Israel. Israel, however, has (by its own laws) annexed the territory and shows little if any intent on returning it to Syria.
