Most likely they are boycotting the French nuclear power producers that are happy to sell them power at inflated prices during demand times, but block any progress on enhanced interconnectivity that would allow Spain to sell much cheaper renewable energy to them.
Yes and no. There is a lack of sufficient interconnectivity between France and Spain, and when the blackout happened one main line was offline because of a forest fire. If there had been more interconnectivity, the blackout could have likely been prevented, but it was only one of many factors that played into it.

Why would that be tied to the blackout? I thought that France contributed heavily to getting the grid back online as fast as it did.

The blackout lasted almost 24 hours where I live. But I live far away from France. I know places near France did recover in a few hours.
