Spain is a net exporter of electricity; its net exports were 3406 GWh in 2014 (vs. total consumption of 243,530 GWh). It imported 5963 GWh from France and sent 2395 GWh back; For Portugal it was 6345 GWh imported vs. 7247 exported, and there was an exportation of 5839 GWh to Morroco (vs. 3 GWh of importation).
Exports and Imports vary depending on the season. From January to April, when the most hydro power is produced, Spain is a net exporter to France and a net importer from Portugal. The rest of the year, the balance is mostly reversed. The export to Morroco is roughly stable all year.
In 2014, Spain's nuclear power plants produced 57,376 GWh. Assuming all energy imported from France (5963 GWh) was from nuclear plants, that would add 10.4% to nuclear-source electricity, for a total of 63,339 GWh, or 26% of consumption (vs. 23.6% if you don't count French imports).
