Well, Hannibal was never in command of spain. Spain is a present day country. He was a Carthaginian, and the Carthaginians conquered part of the Iberian Peninsula (present day Spain). He was in command his whole adult life. He was 29 when the Second Punic War started, which is the time for which he is famous.
