The last of the Moors surrendered Granada in 1492. After that they (Ferdinand & Isabella) had the time to listen to Columbus, and his ideas of finding a route to the East, as opposed to sailing around Africa, or going overland through Muslim, or other hostile controlled lands.
Not sure what that has to do with throwing off the “yoke” of Islam, as they had already done that.
