There have been Arabs in Spain (Arabic: عرب إسبانيا; Spanish: Árabes en España) since the early 8th century when the Umayyad conquest of the Iberian Peninsula created the state of Al-Andalus. In modern times there are expatriates from a range of Arab countries, particularly Morocco, Algeria, Lebanon, Syria, the Palestinian Territories, and Iraq; and also small groups from Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Jordan and Sudan. As a result of the Arab Spring (Libyan Civil War and Syrian Civil War), many have the status of refugees or illegal immigrants, trying to immigrate especially to France, Germany and Sweden. The Arab population in Spain is estimated to be between 1,600,000 and 1,800,000.[1][2][3]
