Portugal runs a lot of technology/near-shore outsourcing for across Europe where English is still a common collaboration language, where Spain supports a lot of Tourists across the Eurozone, and generally supports those tourists in multiple languages.
I’d expect this contributes at least partially to the difference.
The huge gap between Portugal and Spain is surprising to me. I would have thought they’d be near identical in terms of English proficiency.
