AHC: Visigothic Colonial Empire

Your task, should you except it, is for Visigothic Spain to survive into the 16th century and for Visigothia to rule the Americas (or their ATL name) like Spain did OTL. Go ahead!
 
A Dionysian Flavored Cut of Jesus Worship spreads to the Visigoths allowing to unite themselves and their subjects in Bacchate practices that by the advent of Islam allows them to withstand Islamic Invasion. Envied and hated by their neighbors they look to circumnavigate Africa to reach China.

Does this mean they are destroyed by the French, Germans, English and anybody else that wants to get their dirty hands on Spain or is it the other way round?
 
No Islam. The Visigoths seemed to have a strong, vibrant culture before Islam. If the Arabs don't show up, they seem to be well set.
 
It really depends what you mean. If by "Visigothic Spain" a Kingdom ruled by monarchs who can trace their heritage back to the Visigoths, than this is OTL. However, if you want one continuous state with continuity of institutions, etc., then I think all you need is for the Visigoths to put up a little better defense against the Muslisms so that you get a rump Visigothic Spain in place of Asturias. I'm not sure what institutional change was necessary for weak Asturias to transform itself into Leon and Castille capable of beating back the Muslims, but i'm assuming the same could take place in the Visigothic state.

So, I guess what I'm saying is that not much change would be necessary, really. Basically, just mimick OTL, but with a slightly more organized Asturias.
