@PurpleLibraryGuy Not to mention that both places were not that close to spain (they are not far from marrakech).... Also, the people living in south Spain (Andalusia) are dark-skinned too. The place was a muslim sultanate (Al-Andalus) for quite a long time before the reconquista so people here share features with people living in Morocco or Algeria. What I mean is we wouldn't necessarily make the difference between Morrocans and Andalusians (I would even argue that Morrocans are "white" people that just happen to live in a place with a lot of sun).
