Many spanish words are of Muslim origins. e.g. ojala(pronounced oh-hah-la) in spanish means hopefully, it stems from a Muslim prayer "Oh Allah".
Spanish architecture was influenced by the Muslims. Some, like the famous Alahmbra were even built by the Muslims.
In a less aesthetically pleasing way, the age old conflict has lead to a general distrust of Muslims among most Spaniards, although younger generations seem to be parting from that stigma.
