Lumpy freelance payments can still work for a Portugal remote-work filing (often called D8) if your documents clearly show stable, regular income over time. You are not trying to prove identical monthly pay. You are trying to show credible means of subsistence in a way a reviewer can verify quickly.
Choose the country where your case is easiest to prove and where the fewest details are still unclear. When you weigh Spain against Portugal for a digital nomad visa, both options can look similar at first, and there is no single best option for everyone. The better outcome usually depends on your situation and on how clearly you can evidence income, family inclusion, minimum stay, and process.
