Morocco and Andalucia are pretty close, you can spot Morocco´s coast from some places. Also, there is the issue of Ceuta and Melilla.

  Yes, only a stone's throw. Why doesn't Spain have the ~6% Muslim population of France or Germany?

    Getting goods from Spain can be done without needing to make a big trip, thus, needing to settle yourself for long in France.

      So immigration into Europe is about convenient access to goods? Does that sound right?

    France keep strong historical links with several North African countries that were its french-speaking former colonies. This probably generated a lot of migration between France and Africa fullfiling the requisites to be granted French citizenship. In the case of Germany is probably because they received a lot of Turkish workers after WWII.
