鼎盛时管辖面积超过300万平方公里，人口约500万。

曾为西班牙帝国的领土或殖民地16世纪中，西班牙和葡萄牙是欧洲环球探险和殖民扩张的先驱，并在各大海洋开拓贸易路线，使得贸易繁荣，路线从西班牙横跨大西洋到美洲，从墨西哥横跨太平洋，经菲律宾到东亚。

西班牙征服者摧毁了阿兹特克、印加帝国和玛雅文明，并对美洲大片领土宣称主权。

一时之间，凭著其经验充足的海军，西班牙帝国称霸海洋；凭著其可怕、训练有素的步兵方阵（Tercio），它主宰欧洲战场。

711年，摩尔人入侵西班牙，赢得了瓜达莱特战役大捷，用7年时间就征服了伊比利亚半岛，西班牙开始了为期近800年的伊斯兰统治，称做“安达卢斯国”，中国古代称之为“绿衣大食”。

原住在伊比利亚半岛的西哥特人逃到半岛的北部，建立了阿斯图里亚斯、纳瓦尔、阿拉贡和卡斯蒂利亚等王国。

718年，阿斯图里亚斯王国国王佩拉约在科法敦加与入侵的阿拉伯人发生战斗，伊比利亚半岛东部的纳瓦尔、阿拉贡和加泰罗尼亚王国也加入收复失地的斗争。
