Firstly the wording of the question is inaccurate. The rulers of Spain were "Arabs" of the Arabian peninsula (from the Umayya clan in Mecca who then moved to Syria to establich the Ummatad dynasty).
The population which the Arabs ruled "consisted" of berbers (which you call Moorish) who are Atlanto-Mediterranean. They are a mix of European Iberians and East African Capsian people.
The term Moor has had several meanings over time so one has to be careful with terminology. The Moors were from a culture based in North West Africa and included people from Morocco and Algeria. The Moors in Spain had moderately dark skin complexion. (The word "Moor" or "Moorish" in England and Ireland generally meant a Negro rather than a person of the Moorish culture.)

How long did the Moors rule?
At no time did the Moors control all of the Iberian Peninsula on which modern Spain is located. The Moors invaded the peninsula in 710 AD and the last Moorish stronghold surrendered in 1492 AD, so there were Moors in power in some part of the peninsula for 782 years. They never controlled Spain, as such, because it didn't come into being until 23 years after the Moors were physically evicted from the peninsula. Spain did not exist as a single country until 1516 when the major kingdoms of Castile, Leon, Aragon and Navarre were united under one monarch. Carlos I became the ruler of all of them. He was, at the same time, Carlos (Charles) V, Holy Roman Emperor.
