Two sides of the same coin:
Both were Catholic fanatics...
But, on the other hand, plenty of crypto-Jews and Moriscos sailed with Columbus and became conquistadores who ultimately were so fond of racial mixing that they (conquistadores) literally changed almost the entire genome of two continents to create a new mestizo race. Sure, they promoted their culture and religion, but they certainly didn't believe in racial purity. Love to see some of the ultra-Spaniards reconcile that...

I also don't see how anyone can truly reconcile an obsession with racial purity and anti-semitism with a religion that was founded by a Jew.
The pre-Roman Iberians, the Romans, the Basques, Germanic invaders and reconquista Catholics all contributed to Iberia/Spain's rich heritage, but the height of pre-modern Iberian culture was the Emirate of Granada in my opinion.
