Either way, you’re going to be fighting France eventually at some point, so taking a castle there will give you a far stronger position when the time comes. If Portugal attack you, then destroy them, but you can’t predict it well, Toulouse is a good place to gamble on, since France normally fail in their first siege and since dominating the western coast of Europe is a good way to ensure you are first to the New World (although this isn’t essential to win the campaign). The first priority will be a race for the two rebel settlements, although Valencia is very well defended so ensure you have siege equipment. Spain start with two of the eight settlements on the Iberian Peninsula.

This may be the future or it may be folly, the success or failure of the Spanish king will determine that. France are a powerful kingdom and invading them is perhaps not a wise choice, which leaves a naval-based empire. Obviously, the first priority will be to take the rebel territories to the east and to push the Moors back to North Africa, but beyond that, the objectives are not so clear. Spain are a relatively united force by recent standards, as most of the Christian kingdoms and fiefdoms are united, but the tight hold that the Moors have on southern Spain and the recent independence of Portugal mean that they are not necessarily a hugely powerful kingdom.
