They are two different languages.

Spanish originated in Spain.

Portuguese originated in Portugal.

Much like asking the difference between Italian or French, Italian is from Italy, French is from France.

All four share some similarities due to their regional locations and points of origin being so close, but they have been divergent languages for hundreds of years and evolved beyond their common roots.
