What benefits did Muslim rule bring to Spain?
At one point the Muslims had conquered all of Spain except for the northwestern corner, Galicia. The reconquest flowed from there.
Because of the long history of wars and times of peace with the Muslims in Spain, the spanish culture was influenced significantly.
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.
There is a lot more. There are entire books written on the Muslim influence on Spanish culture. Hope that helped a little.
