Why is Portugal an MEDC country?
Portugal is a Developed Country because it has a very high level of development. This definition includes levels of income per capita and Human Development Index, both of which are high for Portugal.
It is important to realise that a country can have a high income because they are big countries (India or Brazil for example) but that they do not necessarily have a high level of income per capita (or per person), thus they are not rich countries and are considered poor countries.
Smaller incomes in smaller countries, when distributed per capita, are sufficient for each inhabitant, making the country a rich country or with sufficient income not making it a poor country (Portugal or Luxembourg for example).
Here are some statistics that shows why Portugal is a Developed Country (MEDC):
Human Development Index - 0.909 making it the 34 best in the world (USA is 13)
Quality of Life Index - 7.307 making it the 19 best in the world (USA is 13)

What was an essential part of the economy of the Spanish and the Portuguese colonies?
Essential parts of the economy of the Spanish and Portuguese colonies were land and the labor needed to work the land. Land was needed for agricultural products such as sugar and for the mines for gold and other precious minerals. Labor, essentially slave labor, was needed to work in the fields and the mines.
The Spanish used Indian labor but paid them very poorly, believing that it was their duty to convert the Indians and that eternal salvation was a reward great enough to justify any possible mistreatment in this life.
The Portuguese had problems using Indian labor so they turned to imported African slaves.
