J-M172 (J2) is not rare, but your specific subclade is. According to FamilyTreeDNA Discover, 275 Spanish testers are J-M172 which is about 10% of the Spanish-origin Y-DNA testers in their database.

How common Is this haplogroup among ethnic Spaniards?

Very rare, in exists among ethnic Spaniards at 1.5% only.
Jews have it at around 20% (22% Sephardic, 19% Ashkenazi).
You probably have some Converso ancestry.

Oh I do have some Jewish for sure. I scored a lot north African and Sephardic on Illustrative. My dad looks mixed with middle eastern instead of Iberian or something.

That's cool. What's your mtDna? I think mine is likley Middle Eastern (or middle eastern in origin but assimilated into Europe, like E1b and J2)

J-M172 it´s the same as J2.

Sorry, yours is J-M205, not just J2...

This is the heatmap for M205, it seems more Arabic than Jewish, but don´t know much about "J"s Ydna...
