The Reconquista (Reconquest) was the process by which the Christian Kingdoms of northern Hispania defeated and expelled the southern Muslim forces and Moorish states of the Iberian Peninsula, ending more than 8 centuries of Moorish rule in Spain. The Reconquista is commonly accepted to have started in 722, with the Battle of Covadonga, and finished in 1492, with the conquest of Granada.

Spanish took Iberia back from Muslims,destroyed their cities,killed all of them and erased the effects of Islamic culture on the peninsula completely..That's the re-conquest of Spain

In addition to the above answer.
Be sure not to confuse "Moors" with "Moops".
