Yes, Charlemagne expanded his empire into parts of modern Spain during his reign in the late 8th and early 9th centuries. He conducted military campaigns against the Muslim-ruled territories in the Iberian Peninsula, establishing the Marca Hispanica, a buffer zone that included regions like Catalonia. However, his control was limited and primarily focused on the northeastern part of Spain, as significant portions remained under Muslim rule.
