They could march up into France, then slam into the Rhineland, WAY before the Soviets could folk dance across Eastern Europe. No. Spain is an extremely hilly/mountanious country (Which is largely why there are so many regionalist identities that developed there, due to isolation), and prefect for the defense. Plus, there's the Pyrennes the Western Allies would have to get through before getting into South France, which is also very poor terrain (Look up the OTL invasion of Southern France, the Allies suffered severe logistics issues while the Germans played an extremely well organized defense with the local terrain).
