Yes, they settled in Spain (it is currently considered that the name
of Andalucia comes from the names of the Vandals, eventually through
an Arabic intermediate: al-Andalus), but when the Visigoths came,
they moved, together with some (probably Germanized) Alans into North
Africa, establishing there their kingdom.
