Well, hasn't it been documented that Franco was willing to join the war in exchange for French Morocco ?

Was he just making knowingly unreasonable demands so as to have a convenient pretext, or did he really mean it ? As has been pointed out, Spanish involvement means:

losing the Canary Islands
blockade and no more oil and other imports
SOE encouraging Spanish guerilla warfare

Franco made a reasonable choice
