Only to a limited extent. The Portuguese were a real sea-faring, trading and globe-exploring nation. Spain only got interested in sailing out to anywhere after Columbus had convinced its royal couple - on the basis of totally incorrect assumptions and calculations, by the way - that there was an easy and short way to India and China by sailing out to the west, and then came back with excited stories of gold lying around all over the place. After that, Spain's exploring activities limited themselves to colonizing and then exploiting Middle and South America, minus (Portuguese) Brazil.

Early Portuguese explorations were primarily driven by the desire to find new trade routes to Asia and spread Christianity. They established trading posts along the coast of Africa and expanded their influence in the Indian Ocean through explorers like Vasco da Gama. The Portuguese were the first Europeans to reach India by sea in 1498.
