Spain was fighting in two fronts. On the one hand, the netherlands want independence from Spain and the other hand Ottoman empire was unstoppable in eastern europe. The Christianity divided in two and Ottomans advancing.
At the end, was decided that spanish navy to join with italian states navy against Ottoman navy. The Spanish tercios will be concentrated mainly in the netherlands and in minor size against Ottomans. Most of spanish/hasburg kings were fed up with Christian countries because they dont join with him. More concentrate in attacking spain than join forces.
The Cost of fight in two fronts was highly. Normally, for both empires to make a peace.
Not to say that netherlands was spanish by heritage. Most of spaniards and tercios were so fed up to fight there because no matter how many battles will the tercios win, the dutch continue fighting. "Was a hell with no-end but the head of spanish government was stubborn to controll it". That neverending war provocked even internal rebellions in Spain.

As noted in Alan G. Jamieson's Lords of the Sea: A History of the Barbary Corsairs
and confirmed here the truce of 1580 simply called an end to the fighting between the Spanish and Ottoman Empires that never resumed. There were never any official peace talks, and so no formal agreement on territorial concessions was ever negotiated.
The Ottomans were first occupied with a war against Persia (Iran) and then with an attempt from 1593-1606 to capture Vienna from the Austrians .
Philip II in turn became preoccupied with his attempt to subdue both the Dutch Republic and England that consumed hos attentions for the remainder of his reign.
This effective abandonment of the Western and Central Mediterranean by the navies of both Spain and the Ottoman Empire, combined with the gradual decline of both Venice and Genoa, led to the rise of the Barbary states, and their associated piracy. This would continue into the 19th century when the combined efforts of British, French and United States military forces subdued them.
