The Carthaginians arrived in Western Europe during the Sicilian Wars (Greek-Punic Wars) from 600-265 BCE. Carthage had its eyes on Sicily, but the island was controlled by the Greeks and Sicels at the time. They waged war, but only gained 1/3 of the island. From here, they then spread to capture much of Western-Mediterranean Europe.
