Well, since Spain still exists in this timeline, it can be assumed that the Reconquista did happen but that some separatist regions eventually split from Spain after the Reconquista. And since you said that Andalucia was an Islamic Empire, it can be assumed that after the split muslims moved back to said country, enough to gain control over the government - or that Islam was never erradicated from the region in the first place.

This is why this sort of games need a solid backstory, because otherwise we have to rely on assumptions.
