"When Ferdinand succeeded his father as King of Aragon in 1479, the Crown of Castile and the various territories of the Crown of Aragon were united in a personal union creating for the first time since the 8th century a single political unit which might be called Spain, although the various territories were not properly administered as a single unit until the 18th century"
Reading this one might assume there was a single political unit (Spain) before the 8th century, which is not true. Besides that, Granada was a muslim kingdom until 1492 and Navarre wasn't annexed until 1512, so there was no such thing as Spain in 1479.
And about if he was king of Castille, Isabella was the ruler of Castille, but he was regent during several periods of time.
