In what year was Spain discovered?
I don't think you can say that Spain was discovered. See the following quote from WikiPedia.
Archaeological research at Atapuerca indicates the Iberian Peninsula was peopled 1.2 million years ago.[11] Modern humans in the form of Cro-Magnons began arriving in the Iberian Peninsula through the Pyrenees some 35,000 years ago. The best known artifacts of these prehistoric human settlements are the famous paintings in the Altamira cave of Cantabria in northern Spain, which were created about 15,000 BCE by cro-magnons
That would be a very difficult question to answer, since there is evidence of human inhabitants in Spain from a very early period. Caves in Spain have neolithic cave drawings, and tools have been discovered in various regions from early prehistory.
Spain is relatively culturally homogeneous, having been settled early on by Celts from at least 1500 BC. The Basques appear to be indigenous to the Pyrenees region, but may have inhabited the lowlands prior to the entrance of the Celts into the region.
