Was one of the Spanish Republican factions fascist?

With a wide brush you can paint the picture like this: The Republicans were left wing communists (or at least they wanted a democratic republic) and the Nationalists were right wing fascists.

Nationalists won and they had a dictator (Franco) in Spain from 1939 to 1975.
