The Abbasid Caliphate did not directly expand into Spain; instead, it was the Umayyad Caliphate that established control over the Iberian Peninsula in the early 8th century. After the Umayyad dynasty was overthrown in the East, a surviving member, Abd al-Rahman I, fled to Spain and established an independent Umayyad emirate in Córdoba. The Abbasids, while they did not rule Spain, had a significant cultural and intellectual influence on the region through their connections with the Umayyad rulers.

Did the umayyads the established a caliphate in Spain?
Yes and No. The First Ummayyad Caliphate (661-750 C.E.) had been established in Damascus and expanded all the way from Spain to Northwestern India. However, an uprising by the Abbassids led to the fall of this Caliphate and the rising of the Abbassid Caliphate in its place. The Abbassids had killed the last Damascus Caliph, Marwan II, and slaughtered every member of the Umayyad family they could find. One final Umayyad prince, Abd el-Rahman I, escaped and established an emirate in Spain separate from the Abbassids and made Cordoba his capital-in-exile. He then withstood attempts by the Abbassids for control of Spain. By 929 C.E. the Abbassid Caliphate was weakening substantially, so the current Ummayad Emir declared that the Umayyad Emirate of Andalucia (Southern Spain) would become the Second Umayyad Caliphate. This lasted until 1038 C.E., when the last Umayyad caliph died heirless. During the 300 or so years (750 C.E.-1038 C.E.) of the Umayyad Emirate/Caliphate in Spain, the state was constantly fending off Spanish Reconquista Knights.
