The 90/180 Rule and Spain
Spain including the Canary Islands and Balearic Islands is fully within the Schengen Area. Days in Barcelona or Madrid count toward your limit.
The Schengen Area treats all 27 member countries as a single zone. Whether you enter at Madrid airport or travel overland from a neighbouring country, every day counts toward the same rolling 90-day limit.
Maximum stay in any 180-day rolling window across all Schengen countries including Spain.
The 180 days are always counted backwards from today, not from your entry date or the start of the year.
Both the day you enter and the day you exit Spain each count as a full Schengen day.
