One visa for the whole area
Spain is part of the Schengen Area, so entry rules are shared across all 29 member states: one visa covers the whole zone, and the 90-days-in-any-180 limit is counted across all Schengen countries together, not per country. That is why the table below matches the other Schengen pages.
