Well yes Spanish Dracula is more like a side production than a remake, but yes it is the same principle, make something with your language and which fit your culture better than a movie from another nation.
I think that the reason why we see so many remakes now is the economic crisis. After all a old movie already have a following who is likely to see a new version, whatever they like it or not, it is just safer to remake something than to gamble on something new when the money is tight.
