For many years people had wrong ideas about Moorish influence in Portugal. But recently, admixture and haplogroup analysis (Y-Dna and mtDna) on large samples both prove that Moorish admixture is real in some Iberian ethnic groups like Portuguese.
"North African" admixture in Portuguese:
1) Dodecad : about 9% with a few individuals over 10%!

North African/Berber: 6.8
East African:1.2
Neo African:0.7
2) Eurogenes : 13-14%

3) Dna Tribes : 13-14%

These results confirm what was reported by recent haplogroup studies that analysed large samples of Portuguese:
1) North African Y-Dna in Portugal: 47/659 > 7%
