Yep, can confirm that, the lady in the Post Office checked while sorting out my IDP, you need 2 different ones to get the ferry to Bilbao and drive through to Portugal for example.
Went for my IDP today and finished up having to get 2. The guy in the post office told me I needed one for Portugal and a different one for Spain. When I got home I went on wikepidea and that says that Spain and Portugal are both subject to the same agreement and the same IDP applies for both countries. However as Germany requirement is a different one and as I need to drive there as well, the second one will not be wasted.
They have managed to miss the trailer category off so I'm going back tomorrow to get it corrected. The guy didn't seem to really know what he was doing and if I was going again I'd do my own research first and not rely on them getting it right.
I also found that the IDP is only valid for a year and needs to be renewed annually.
