The simplest way is to keep Iberia Muslim and thus culturally closer to North Africa than Europe.
And the same is true of Sicily, Cyprus, and the Balkans.

Okay, here's an idea. What would it take for Spanish culture to become a great deal more prestigious to the point of modern day Spaniards see themselves as being more "special" and "unique" from the rest of Europe. Like, how could Spain become a real trendsetter, rather than an adopter?
Hmmm.... Maybe we could have France decline as a power some time after the Reconquista. In order to increase Spain's population, something has to happen, so that lots of people want to go live in Spain. As a whole, Spain must have a larger population than France, most likely by a combination of France shrinking and Spain increasing. What would it take for this to happen?
