Because the whole point of Schengen is that it has abolished border controls between these countries.

Schengen and EU citizens have the right to travel to other Schengen and EU countries without any restriction.

Most of these countries are also members of the EU, which has abolished customs between its members.

As a result there are no border controls, just a sign by the side of the road when you cross from one country to another.

Therefore once you have a Schengen visa and have entered the Schengen Area, these is nothing to stop you travelling to any other Schengen country. You can go from the Helsinki (Finland) to Lisbon (Portugal) and you wil not encounter a single border post.

The question can be read two different ways.Can a Schengen Visa be used in Spain even if it's for a different country?A Schengen Visa is automatically valid for Spain.Spain is part of the Schengen Area, and all Schengen visas are vaild for all Schengen countries.Can an existent Schengen Visa be extended for a longer period of time in Spain?It depends on the country that issued the Schengen Visa and the purpose of the extension. If Spain issued the original Schengen Visa or the next Visa will predominantly be for Spain, you must go outside of Spain to extend the visa in order to get to a Spanish Embassy or Consulates. (There are no Spanish Embassies or Consulates inside of Spain.) If the Schengen Visa is for another EU country, it may be possible to visit their embassies or consulates in Spain for an extension.If there is no viable reason for the Visa to be extended, the extension will be denied.
