It's nothing to do directly with Spain, your passport is stamped when you enter and leave the "Schengen" area, the 90 day stay is there regardless of the country, all one area within the EU/EEA/EFTA., Stamped again when you leave and return to country which does not belong. to the Schengen zone, these are not part - Albania, Andora, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Cyprus, Georgia, Ireland, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, Romania, Russia, San Marino, Serbia, Turkey, Ukraine, 'The United Kingdom' and Vatican City.
Your passport simply gets stamped upon your arrival and departure from Europe's Schengen Zone.
