I am looking at Spain, and when the textsbook talk about a Golden Age, they talk about the age of exploration at Spains Golden Age. But, during the 7 centuries of rule on the Muslims, the first 300 years could also be considered a Golden Age, so I am wondering if there can be more.

Yes, but just like saying "there could one day be another Beatles," the new ones will have the essence but also an entirely different substance.
Our first golden age was the flowering of America's last generaltion of Men of the Renaissance, those who signed the Declaration of Independence. The educational requirements were relaxed to be more democratic. It worked. But we lost a lot of rationality was logic and eristic and rhetoric were eliminated.
Our second golden age was the "taming" of the wild west with telegraphs and trains. We should not have treated the Native Americans as anything other than partners. Some men knew this. They did not have enough sway.
The third golden era was the skyscraper skyline. It represented man on the rise, using the most of a footprint to pack in the most products/goods/services/people, and keep things from sprawling. From that came the financial capital of the world.
Our fourth golden era was the Atlas space program, tho what we do not makes Atlas pale. It was the speed and adeptness we showed at a goal that government believed science capable of. (Much different than Bush believes science capable of.)
Our fourth golden era? Perhaps a leader who can, by leading, and by speaking their language, show the Wahabiis, the jihidists, how wrong they are for being infidels to Allah.

Yes.
Look at China, about to enter its next Golden Age.

It's not clear if a nation can have one Golden Age. Most "Golden Ages" are legends...

yes there can be more than one, but one usually stands above any other. for example the reign of frances SUN KING, VIZ A VIZ NAPOLEONS REIGN. BOTH WERE GOLDEN MOMENTS FOR FRANCE BUT LOUIS REIGN IS THE ONE MOST REMEMBERED.
