I'm westernized btw. I managed to overpower all of their navies, but invading them looks like a challenge and of D-day proportions. Any advice and any other way than building an insane amount of transport ships? Should I even invade through southern Spain or maybe through Portugal? (they at least have another 40k somewhere in Iberia as well) I need help. :huh:

Scorched Earth can help here, especially if you can't match the Iberians in numbers.

Ideally though, the best tactic would be placing a significantly sized army in Almeria before the war, but small enough that the AI is willing to attack. Then ship over reinforcements from the three provinces you control across the gulf.

This. Alternatively, use Forced March (while having starting stacks in Cordoba) to get to their stacks before thery recover any morale immediately after declaring war on them.

Send some forces through France/Aragon and their armies will leave the south of Iberia, when they do that, take your troops to Almeria, reconquest your provinces and make a good defense.
