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.
