The mainland of Spain's most southerly point is further south than the mainland of Portugal. Both countries have islands that are part of their countries and which are much further south of their mainlands. The Canary Islands, belonging to Spain, are further south than Madeira, which belongs to Portugal.

Parts of Portugal are farther south than most of Spain, but parts of Spain are farther south than all of Portugal. That statement is also true if you change the word 'south' to 'north' wherever it appears.
Yes, Portugal is slightly farther south than Spain. The southernmost point of Portugal (Sagres) is at a latitude of approximately 37°N, while the southernmost point of Spain (Tarifa) is at a latitude of approximately 36°N.
Spain is farther north than Portugal. The two countries are located on the Iberian Peninsuula. The Peninsula's northernmost point is Punta da Estaca de Bares [Estaca de Bares Point] in the Autonomous Community of Galicia [Comunidad Autónoma de Galicia] in northwestern Spain.
Spain extends about 100 Km further south, to where it almost touches Africa at the Strait of Gibraltar.
-- 'Longitude' has nothing to do with how far south a place is. -- Spain extends farther than Portugal, both north and south. So all of Portugal is farther south than any place in a strip of Spain north of it, and a strip of southern Spain is farther south than any pace in Portugal. I have an analogy that I know won't be understood by the person who posted this question, but others who happen to be passing through may appreciate it. It's very much like asking "Which is farther from Africa . . . Kansas or the USA ?"
