Depending on your definition of Spain, the answer changes somewhat. Spain today compromises 18 Regions (Comunidades Autonomas) of which two are on the African Mainland (Ceuta and Melilla). These areas have consistently had an Arab Population since the Arab Invasion of Morocco in the 680s CE. Similarly Spain used to have colonial possessions in Morocco and Western Sahara which both have indigenous populations of Arabs during the same timeframe.
However, if you are referring to Spain strictly on the Iberian Peninsula, there are two clear periods of Arab Settlement within Spain. The first was the time of Moslem Spain in its various incarnations. The first invasions took place in the year 711 and the last Moslem Spanish Kingdom was defeated in 1492. However, Moslems still continued to live in Christian Kingdoms until the Spanish Inquisition came into full swing about a year later. Many Arabs, rather than renounce their faith, fled to Morocco, Algeria, and the Ottoman Empire. The second major period of Arab Settlement in Spain began in the 1970s and continues to this day. Spain is relatively close to the Arab World (especially since it has land borders with Morocco - Ceuta and Melilla) and has a much higher standard of living which draws the Arabs in as immigrants.

The Africans alone couldn't have hoped to try and eliminate Spain. The arabs and african arabs (moors) invaded Spain in what was known as the Muslim conquests.
Mostly, the Vandals who then were also masters of Spain. The Moors only managed to cross into Spain when the Vandal king had raped the daughter of his Governor in Ceuta (North Africa), who had until then succesfully contained the Arabs and prevented their crossing to Spain. When he did not get sufficient satisfaction from the King for what had happened to his daughter he kept his feelings to himself and returned to Ceuta. Once there, he offered the Arabs an unhindered crossing into Spain.
To be entirely fair, it was Türkic Tribes of Central Asia who spread Islam to China, but the reason that Arabs spread Islam to Spain, Sicily, and India was that they genuinely believed it to be the correct religion.
The biggest influence of the Arabs and Amazigh (Berbers) in Spain after their exile was their architecture. Buildings like the Cordoba Mosque, the Royal Alcazar in Seville, and the Alhambra in Granada remind Spaniards of the period of Arab and Amazigh control.
