There are many countries that are a peninsula:
-Italy
-Greece
-Turkey
-India
*the listed countries are only countries who are they, in themselves, a peninsula. There are much more countries that are part of a peninsula but not wholly one (i.e. Spain)*
Lisbon is the capital city of Portugal, which is a neighbouring country of Spain.
Spain and Italy ARE different countries; ergo they are not in the same country, but are in the same continent, Europe.
Spanish is the language spoken in the country of Spain.
Spain and France do not, in fact, share the Iberian Peninsula. Conventionally (and properly) understood, the Iberian Peninsula is shared by the nations of Spain and Portugal, with several smaller ethnic groups (Basques and Catalans, for example) laying claim to political independence in the same area.

No. Portuguese language comes from the Western European country of Portugal, located in the Iberian peninsula. Portuguese-speaking countries include Brazil, Angola, Mozambique and other former colonies of Portugal. Mexico's most widely spoken language is Spanish, which comes from the European country of Spain, also on the Iberian peninsula like Portugal. Besides Spain and Mexico, other Spanish-speaking countries include Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina, Cuba and paradoxically, the United States which qualifies as the second-largest speaking country behind Mexico.
At no time did the Moors control all of the Iberian Peninsula on which modern Spain is located. The Moors invaded the peninsula in 710 AD and the last Moorish stronghold surrendered in 1492 AD, so there were Moors in power in some part of the peninsula for 782 years. They never controlled Spain, as such, because it didn't come into being until 23 years after the Moors were physically evicted from the peninsula. Spain did not exist as a single country until 1516 when the major kingdoms of Castile, Leon, Aragon and Navarre were united under one monarch. Carlos I became the ruler of all of them. He was, at the same time, Carlos (Charles) V, Holy Roman Emperor.
Spain extends both farther north and farther south than Portugal does.
