No, not many, if any. Most Islanders are in fact descendants of Andalusians, which is the people who pupulated Spanish America in the most numbers.

And Andalusia was controlled by the Moors for the 700 years just prior to Columbus setting sail and in those 700 years at least a few native Spaniards may have ... and I’m just speculating here ... may have consorted with the North African muslim conquers. In this admittedly unlikely event of two peoples living together for 700 years possibly intermingling in a bilibal sense, it’s possible that some of that North African / arabian bloodline seeped into the Andalusian one. Again, pure speculation.
